	Twizel - New Zealand - Mark Moxon, Travel Writer
		The little town of Tekapo sits innocently on the end of Lake Tekapo, complete with the sweet little Church of the Good Shepherd whose view from the altar takes some beating, and which I managed to photograph when the busload of Asian tourists had finally buggered off.
		Lake Pukaki is stunning: I'd arrived at the south end, from where you can easily see Mt Cook, the highest peak in New Zealand and Australia combined, towering over the skyline.
		Lake Pukaki is at the end of the Tasman Glacier – Tekapo is also at the end of a glacier – which helps explain why there's so much rock flour in the water, but it also means the water is bloody cold.
