Bluff, Southland, Dunedin, Otago Peninsula & the east coast

'H', overlooking Bluff


The AA signpost


London Calling...



Reminds me of Wales...



The Yellow-eyed penguins of Curio Bay


This was taken through Emma's binoculars!



The Twilight Zone...



The wonderful views of & near Jack's Blowhole










'James, John, Some Sheep & A Leaning Tree'



The penguins of Nugget Point, making their evening commute inland


Nugget Point lighthouse


There are NZ fur seals & Hooker's sealions on those rock, honest!!


The setting sun casts its light & shadows for us to enjoy





Baldwin Street, Dunedin - 'The World's Steepest Street' !




Dunedin offers some lovely coastal views...


...and sunsets, too



The different ingredients used in making Speights Beer!


One of the many rooms used in the process




John, our excellent Scottish tour guide, pours us some well-deserved refreshments!


This sign was right outside the brewery... ironic, no?


'Cadbury Towers'


Dunedin Rail Station, apparently the most photographed building in New Zealand!



Views of the Otago Peninsula, as seen from Taiaroa Head





Pics from the Otago Aquarium

A lovely, big octopus, hiding under some rocks


A seahorse (Emma was delighted when told the MALES have the babies!)


A baby carpet shark - gorgeous things, these (they are born from sacs, too!)


A model of the giant squid, built to scale



Me, moments after plunging through the top bunk, much to Emma & John's amusement...


Check out the look of total bemusement & disbelief on my face in this video!

The first seal we spotted & approached at Shag Point


And what a poser he was, too!


Another lovely east coast view


You can see how we almost walked into the second seal


He wasn't in the least bit bothered by us (you are safe, as long as you don't stand between the sea & the seal)


Two of the seal pups we saw that day at Shag Point




Shags, NZ fur seals & red-billed gulls gather on the Point


You have to love the sea



"Give me five, Brother Deer!"


He loved Emma's jumper!
