South Island - Te Anau to Dunedin - 11th and 12th February 2009


Albatross Otago Peninsula




Cathedral Beach



Deep Down South in the Catlins




Worlds Fastest Indian, Invercargill.





It takes a steady draught to do this.






Clifden Suspension Bridge




The road took us south from Te Anau into agricultural country, through the sausage capital of New Zealand, another Clifden Suspension Bridge, which was very important for opening up the country, to Invercargill and the Catlins where the coast was as wild as wild, witness the angles of the trees. Saw Cathedral Caves - the best part the beach which could have been the setting for The Piano. The descent through rain forest from the car park very reminiscent of that. the Dunedin, lively town, where Dick and Hilly came to meet us for a couple of days.
