Change of Colour.
The mighty Benmore Dam holding back the huge Lake Benmore which was created for power generation. It is fed by Lakes Pukaki, Ohau & Tekapo.
Parked for the night by Lake Benmore where the Ohau Canals feed into the lake. Also featuring the National Rowing Centre hence the rows of bouys.
The dry McKenzie Basin in drought with no sheep & Lake Tekapo both viewed from Mt John Observatory. Mt John is a World Dark Place for viewing the heavens.
Lake Tekapo with the Church of the Good Shepherd.
Burkes Pass, a little stopping place with lots of interesting stuff.
Geraldine, a beautiful town. Fairlie is another lovely town nearby.
The World record Jersey.
Rest of the Journey.
We went to Christchurch to a guy that sells pet electric fences which we hope will stop Oscar going through our back hedge. We then travelled up to Kaikoura & on to Picton.
Driving up the Kaikoura coast is an outstanding journey. The road follows the rocky coast for much of the way, ducking through tunnels in places, alongside the rail tracks.
Kaikoura & leaving Picton. What an adventure it has been.
