    Further delays for opening one of New Zealand's most popular Great Walks

    Further delays for opening one of New Zealand's most popular Great Walks


    Fiordland's Milford Track is set to re-open on Monday after significant spring snow and rain caused large avalanches - that changed watercourses, damaged tracks and covered sections with debris.

    The Department of Conservation has already been forced to delay it's re-opening twice.

    DOC Te Anau Operations Manager John Lucas says persistent avalanche conditions coupled with unfavourable weather meant the work to reinstall some bridges wasn't possible until this week.
