Along the way we stopped to look at some Maori Rock Art, which was pretty disappointing when comparing it against the best aboriginal rock art we have seen in the Kimberley.
After that we stopped at Elephant Rocks which were used as Aslans Camp in the movie Narnia. They were probably the highlight of the day as far as sights go. We are heaps of them spread across a farmers paddocks and you are allowed to just walk in the and have a look around, free of charge.
From there we continued east to the coastal town of Oamaru, which has a very nice Victorian theme to it down near the wharf. Some of the buildings date back to the mid 1800's and it was interesting walking amongst them. We picked up lunch at a bakery and then ate it in a park near one of the old churches.
After lunch and a coffee we headed south, stopping at the Moeraki Boulders, which are a number of sphere shaped rocks on the beach. There was heaps of people down there looking at them but they really weren't anything special. It started drizzling as we left, our first rain for the trip.
We drove further south to Dunedin and had a quick look around town while booking a trip on the Taieri Gorge Railway for the morning. The train station here in Dunedin is reportedly the most photographed building in New Zealand.
The Dunedin Holiday Park is providing our lodgings for the evening.
