Karen and I went on a trip the the West Coast. We stopped at Castle Hill on our drive to Greymouth. The limestone rocks were reminiscent of scenes from Lord of the Rings. You could say that about much of NZ, truth be told.
We were at Dorothy Falls on Day 2, leaving Hokitika on the way back to Greymouth.
The only shot I had taken in Greymouth. I can't remember the name of this place. It was just a short bush walk.
In Hokitika.
This would probably be Lake Kahikatea, in Hokitika.
On Day 4 we visited the Model Village on our way out of Greymouth heading back to Christchurch. This is a scale model of Reefton.
This is a scale model of Waiuta, which used to be a busy mining town but has since been abandoned.
Scale models of English buildings, not part of Waiuta. It was a new project the model builder Alan Hunt was starting.
A scale model of a Maori village? Town?
On Day 3 we went to Punikaiki to see the Pancake Rocks, which are limestone rocks that have been formed by sea and wind to resemble pancakes.
On Day 4, after visiting the Model Village, we stopped by Shantytown.
The photos aren't in chronological order, sorry. But a good time was had by all. Karen did a great job organising the trip and drawing up a schedule and itinerary for us. AND she drove as well. *phew* All I had to do was sit back and relax! I walked a lot, enjoyed the scenery and the fresh air, and ha ha even got a bit of a sunburn!
