Mt Olympus
On Sunday Dad and I went flying in our
friends BO105 helicopter to Mount Olympus in Kahurangi National Park. On Mount
Olympus there were very big rocks and the rocks were all limestone with sand in
them. The rocks look different to any other rocks I've seen before.
Mt Olympus is really special because my Grandad
saw the rocks one day when he was flying over and told the Lord of the Rings film
scouts that they should do filming there.
I hid under the same rock that the hobbits
hid under when the spy crows came. The place in the movies is called South of
Rivendell.
There is no walking track to Mount Olympus
the only way to get there is by helicopter.
Here are some pictures of me on Mt Olympus
and here is a link to a youtube clip of the scene from the Lord of the Rings
film.
