Posted to Hot Topic Fiordland Advocate 26 January 2013
Though the Jackson Movie Machine rarely tells about its “Hobbit” locations one has been unofficially confirmed by other sources from the Unexpected Journey Film as the lake Victoria Waterfall off the Iris Burn in the Kepler Mountains Between Lakes Manapouri and Te Anau. The Lake is a popular spot for Wedding Party Flights as it is only a few minutes by Air from Te Anau Township. Lake Victoria Was named in the 1980s by the son of Sir Allen Mark the well known Fiordland Guardian, Though Old Sid Cormack the late historian from the Riverton Rununga once described it as “Ice Maidens Lake” after a Spirit from Maori Folklore.
I suspect the Falls will become another attraction now on the Tolkien Tourism Circuit if it becomes official.
Another feature in the Hobbit movie is where the Eagles Land on a crazy looking CGI outcrop which looks just like central Fiordland and it looks like you can see Mt Irene in the Distance... Perhaps it is Peter Jackson paying a sneaky homage to his Lost Salome Movie set located near Mt Irene in his Forgotten Silver Mocumentory.
Word is More Local Locations are to come in the Next two Films.
(Still from the Hobbit with Giant Eagle) Lake Victoria Falls?
