Another filming location for Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings. This sheep station on the outskirts of Twizel was used as a backdrop for The Battle of the Pelennor Fields.

Some sequences of Mulan's live-action remake were shot in this location as well.

The southern alps can be seen in the distance.

Please don't lump #BarryBrailsford's work in with the "Celtic NZ" fantasies of white supremacist fellowtravelers like Martin Doutre and Kerry Bolton. Brailsford. At no point does Brailsford himself claim #Waitaha were of European origin, and I've personally heard oral history from Māori who say Waitaha are part of their whakapapa. In fact, Waitaha are formally recognized by #KaiTahu as being already present in Te Wai Pounamu when they arrived there, see the display in Toitū museum in Ōtepoti.
