Franz Josef Defiance Hut New Zealand 2024
Hi and welcome to this POV look around the historic Defiance Hut that is located in the Franz Josef Glacier car park in the stunning Franz Josef Glacier Valley in the Westland Tai Poutini National Park on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island.
The Defiance Hut was originally built in 1912 at Cape Defiance to provide accommodation and a base for glacier walkers and mountaineers that could access the Franz Josef Glacier and surrounding mountains.
A replacement hut was built in 1974 at Castle Rocks at 650 meters higher up the ridge and the Defiance Hut was dismantled and flown out in sections and then resembled at the old Franz Josef visitors centre in the Franz Josef Township then the hut was dismantled again and put into storage when the Visiter Center was closed and moved into its new and current building in Cron Street in the Franz Josef Township and the Defiance Hut was rebuilt and is currently open to the public again at its current site in the Franz Josef Glacier Valley.

A great piece of NZ history, but for me the sounds of the birds makes the show. Cheers Steve
Happy New year , the mountains view are so refreshing
Happy new year Steve and family 🎉✨️🥂
@@TheMadWeka thank you mate and the same to you and your family ✨️ 🎊 🎉 🍻
Love greymouth
@rikkic1428 it's a nice town. Its getting better all the time.
Thank you for this hut tour!! Have a wonderful New Year looking forward to more of your adventures in 2025
Excellent clip Steve, as they say "You can't beat Westland on a good day" or is that Wellington. Cheers & Happy New Year to you
@richardcaldwell9160 Thank you so much Richard and a happy New Year to you and your family and have a wonderful 2025 🙏
Love Rimu Road ❤
@@elefteriatravels it's one stunning drive❤️
New Zealand will be my next destination ❤
@@elefteriatravels absolutely 💯 ❤️
Wow would love to see a video to this lake
Gorgeous birds ❤
Love Franz Josef definitely different from when I was there in the 90s
Love these time lapse drives incredibly interesting to watch
Would be better if the camera was mounted to the outside of your car to reduce the glare from the sun through the window screen along with getting a better view of the road and scenery rather seeing your dash board in every view.
@russy8488 yess my next batch of driving videos will be from a totally different prospective most will be from the front giving a full view pov and more of the scenery will be visible with no window glare from the sun.
Another absolutely brilliant video. Do you have cameras set up at those locations? You seam to be all over the place in a limited amount of time where there is no road access to thos locations that you film the trains from.
Ahhh nice to see another Greymouth video such a beautiful place. Love the star lapse video at the end.
Beautiful
Beautiful ❤️
Cheers mate, where are the trees?
@knockoutrat4065 think some of the trees around the Greymouth CBD have been removed
❤❤❤
@@elefteriatravels thank you 🙏😊❤️
Hey Steve, when the West Coast puts on a good day, nothing else matters. IF I win lotto, I'll move to either Westport, Hokitika or Oamaru. I have been to all & enjoyed my time there. Actually Paraparaumu suits me fine. Cheers Steve & Happy Christmas to you
@richardcaldwell9160 Thank you so much Richard and have a wonderful Christmas 🎄 🎅🙏
That orange underwing is gorgeous!

Hello my dear, found some problems with your channel.Your TH-cam channel needs SEO optimization.Because of SEO optimization channel ranking and organic views, subscribers grow your channel.
Such a break taking place. Hope to kayak around here one day!!
Absolutely I would love a kayak myself. That lake would be absolutely interesting to explore by kayak
I love trains! 🚂 do you know that song by the Seekers, Rockn Rollin Ridin?
Me tooo I wish more heavy freight would be put onto trains along with more passenger comute trains. I haven't hears that song in a lonnng time I had to look it up hehe.
Great watch. Do the trains run through on the weekends?
They sure doo I think Sundays aren't as bussy as the week days tho.
Photography, Cycling & generally Motoring around - Is there no end to your talents Steve. Nice clip
Thank you Richard I just try and compact as much as I can into my free time when it's available.
Always enjoy watching trains in arthurs pass beautiful scenery.

Incredible landscape Steve, & may I add you must be very fit, as that was a more than a couple of kilometers M8

Beautiful scene, love ❤️ NZ👍👍👍
@@matetuipulotu922 Thank you!! New Zealand scenery is like living in a postcard 🙏😊
Sunset picnic! ❤
@@GirlVersusWild was mint apart from that awful wine 🤢😂
Another good ride and tour around. Thanks for the vid
I want to say that, because of some problem in your TH-cam channel, the videos are not widely publicity. If you solve this problem, your videos will reach the desired audience. Did you know the problems in your youTube channel's ?
Thanks Steve, I reckon Greymouth appeal would be enhanced double if they got rid of those overhead power lines, they are so ugly
@richardcaldwell9160 definitely agree mate Greymouth definitely needs yo improveme it's appeal as it's quite the industrial looking town.
Ooh love this part of the world ❤
@@GirlVersusWild me tooo i so would love to live here 💚🩵
Thank you very much for the video, in December 2019 I was preparing to live in Cobden on Bright St. Good to see Greymouth in the video.
@MissaoTailandia most welcome did you end up moving to Cobden? I will make a video of Cobden some day.
