weeks with family and touring Canterbury, We backpacked across the
Banks Penisula, went Whale and Dolphin watching in Kaikoura adn Akaroa
respectively. We went quad biking and bathed in the Thermal Pools of
Hamner Springs, Partook in the TransAlpine train trip through the
southern alps a 9 hour round trip covering over 900km and viewed the

In the Avon Heathcote Estuary, Sumner NZ stands Rapanui Rock aka Shag
Rock, prior to the Feb 22nd 2011 quake it stood an impressive 11
metres above the sea at low tide now it is considerably smaller and
the far side if the stone lies a pile of rubble from where it fell.
