The Roaring Meg
<p><em>As I was talking to David, the falcon was sitting on a dead branch of a tree just above the gravel trail staring at us. Not giving the slightest impression he’d take off soon and certainly not signing us any fear.</em></p>
<p>For our off day, I had two different hikes in mind which both fell flat as the AllTrails App informed us of the seasonal closure of both of them for either lambing or fawning season. Therefore we needed an alternative and found the nearby <em>Roaring Meg Track</em>.</p>
<p>But why <em>Roaring Meg</em>? While there is now a hydro station built in the creek where the Roaring Meg River runs into the Kawarau River, the history of the name giving goes back to the early settlers of the region.</p>
