Goodbye, Oamaru

We want to leave you with a few images of Oamaru and Kakanui as we depart these towns:

A field on the commute to Oamaru from Kakanui



A rare stormy day












The more typical sunny day
















Downtown Oamaru












Central Medical where Mark worked












Oamaru’s own little botanic garden
















One of Oamaru’s lovely local limestone buildings












Our last evening’s walk in Kakanui--looking at Campbell’s Bay at sunset complete with a couple of surfers..........

  2. As one who grew up in Kakanui (now living in WA state) and stumbled across your blog through Google alerts for 'Kakanui' - I've really enjoyed reading an outsider's impression of the place - complete with waking up to the sound of sheep in the morning! Glad you got the chance to experience real New Zealand - good luck for the rest of your trip.

  3. Well, I'll try this again. I just wanted tell you that if the rest of your experience is anything like ours in OZ, there are more good things coming. Eat some pavlova for me.
