A policeman who worked in and loved the rugged southern landscape was yesterday laid to rest flanked by Coronet Peak and the Remarkables.
Detective Travis Hughes, 37, was given full police honours at his funeral in Queenstown.
Mr Hughes, an outdoors man, was carried by helicopter to his final resting
place at Arrowtown.
He and Whakatane pilot Chris Scott were killed when their plane crashed on a cannabis-spotting mission in the Gibbston Valley at the weekend.
Mr Scott's funeral also took place yesterday, in Whakatane.
