Here are more of my mostly-drive-by photos of the historic buildings.
Oamaru is also the Steampunk HQ. It's quite an experience. Click here for more.

Lyttleton Time Ball Station
Hubby ventured up the hill to take photos of the Lyttleton Time Ball station, one of only 5 in working order in the world.
From 1876 to 1934, a ball dropped on its stone tower, signaling the time to ships in Lyttleton Harbor.
The black sphere is a Maori Pou. (Click here.)

Oamaru
Most of the photos of Sumpter's Wharf in Oamaru find it covered in shag/cormorants. It closed to shipping in 1974 and is now a registered historic place. Click here for some history of the Wharf.
Oamaru is a small town in the South Island that you don't hear much about. unless you know there were limestone quarries there and many historic buildings built from it.
Many of the old buildings have been turned into shops.
