Today we drove from Dunedin to Queenstown, stopping off at the (former) steepest street in the world, Ranfurly (with it’s Art Deco architecture), Alexandra, Roaring Meg (a turbulent stream driving a hydro electric power station) and the Kawarau Bridge just outside Queenstown, home of the first commercial bungy jumping site in the world.

Dunedin (part 2)
Today we went in to the city centre and visited St Paul’s Cathedral, the Art Gallery and the library.
In the evening we went for a walk along the beach and sand dunes of St Kilda to St Clair and saw a few sea lions along the way as well as a very nice sunset.
The Otago Peninsula
Today we went to the Otago Peninsula and saw lots and lots of gulls and gull poo. We went to an albatross centre and learned about albatrosses, seals and penguins. When we got back to our car all the gulls had pooped on it!
We then went to Allans Beach and made sandcastles and saw a big sea lion.
Dunedin (part 1)
Yesterday we went to the Otago Settlers Museum. We watched a video about the first settlers from Scotland to come over to Dunedin. We also saw an old penny-farthing. Then we walked to the railway station nearby and took some pictures.
Today we played on the beach near our holiday park and built bridges on the sand.
