All I can say is that if you guess Courchevel Altiport then you're too far west!

Yes, it’s certainly well east of there. I also forgot to say it’s in Asia.

I just got back from across the ditch. The day walk we did was supposed to be a loop, but the high tide prevented us from going through this arch & back along the beach. What walk was it ? or where was the start ?

To add another clue....

This especially long footbridge is part of the same long walk, but further North.

The bridge was key. I could not find a single photo or description of your coastal arch, only a reference to low tide access.

Yay, somewhere I've visited. That's Franz Josef Glacier but what is the mist/cloud?
Or is the glacier calving? Looks spectacular whatever it is.

Massive landslip!

About 5 min later the whole valley was enclosed in rock dust.

:shock: that looks very close to the final lookout point from memory. Wouldn't want to be underneath.

Wrong direction, north from Milford. NE to be more accurate.

Yes, good enough. From memory I was on a short rainforest walk near Cone Rock/Flute Falls.
That would be part of the Mt Fox massif ahead and on my right. Actually that could be Flute Falls ahead I think.
