Imagine having one of New Zealand's best known wilderness walks as your office. 

Angus McKenzie has spent the past ten years as a guide on the Heaphy Track in the Kahurangi National Park in the northwest corner of the South Island.

The track's bridges were badly damaged last year but Angus has been able to get out on the walk again this last summer when Country Life caught up with him.
