Mnt Stirling to Buller summit

Three day circuit trip starting from Mnt Stirling and taking in a night on Mnt Buller summit. A great mix of conditions from snow to sunshine. Winter has to be the best time for camping!

Bulla? As in Buller, or is there a mountain up that way I've never heard of?

cheers. I was actually just using the camera on my phone (Nexus 5X) on this trip. I guess it was difficult to take a bad photo with scenery like that.
