Wee adventure remembering the old OUTC times, by returning to The Clears, just past Tautuku Biv in the Catlins. With Max Olsen, Leon Billows and Anna Murdoch, just before Max embarked on his next big overseas adventure.

The forest floor here is all the work of the very large tree at the back - it's a beautiful tree.
