Sally's Wanderlust

"It is one thing to read about the world, but quite another to see and hear for oneself." Mary Travers (1936-2009)

Feb 10, hydro pipeline

The tow of Twizel was founded when the pipeline was being built.  When the pipeline was finished there was a great uproar over tearing down the homes so they were left.  It is now a burgeoning second home community.
