South Island sights

Once I get out of the farmland of Taranaki, I am charmed by the historic buildings and scenes of the rest of New Zealand, especially in the South Island. These are some more of the sights that grabbed my attention while we were there. Some of the photos are just drive-by's out the car window but I hope you enjoy seeing what I saw :)

Old Sod Cottage

Considering the fact that the British meaning of 'sod' is demeaning, I had to stop

to look around.

Fortunately, 'sod' is the material that the house is made from!

Hugh Murray built in the 1860s for John McIntosh, as a store and as a stopping place

for miners heading to the Tuapeka goldfields.

Hollard Garden color

These are some lovely flowers from a visit to Hollards last week. I am always amazed to see the different colors and shapes they grow there. The volunteers do a fabulous job!

Te Rewa Rewa Bridge

This lovely bridge was part of the scenery when Hubby took me for pizza

beside the sea yesterday. Te Rewa Rewa Bridge opened on 2010. Read more here.

a south island surpirse

When we were on holiday earlier this year, we followed a sign that said, 'Shag Point' hoping to see...well, some birds on the coastline. To our surprise, we didn't find any shags but we did find a seal colony at Matakaea Reserve!
