Roxburgh Dam

On the way to Dunedin from Queenstown I stopped to have a snack. This is the Roxburgh Dam. Looks like somewhere Hitchcock would film.

Queenstown III

Here's another of Lake Wakitipu, with me posing. I have been really lucky with the weather here.

Queensland has lots of things to do. I've done the jet boat, don't want to bungee jump and am going up in a helicopter later. This is a unique one available only to dragons - the Giant Moa Tour. Unlike in Napier my nice ride isn't going to get interrupted by the dog walker.

On The Ferry

Thankfully the storm has cleared this morning. I'm on the ferry. Its a bit choppy but not too bad.

Calmed down a bit now we are in open water. Calm enough for me to have one drink of sparkling stuff. Its a few hours over to the South Island so plenty of time for cups of tea and a few nibbles. I'll go out on deck later, it's quite pretty when we get to the South Island.

Lake Taupo III

Here's the photo I took of birds at Lake Taupo. Caught one landing. Big lens gets you really close.

Another view of the lake. This is from a view point on a hill the other side of the lake the other photos were taken.

Lake Taupo II

Another one of me at Lake Taupo. I look even lovelier in this one. Er, it looks even lovelier in this one!!

There's some birds on the shore so I've got my big lens out. Hope to get a good photo.

Wellington

Here I am in Wellington, New Zealand, starting the second leg of my holiday. Flight wasn't bad as Wellington can be quite windy.

I'm off to pick up the hire car shortly. Having a look at a leaflet to see what I fancy visiting. Looks like a relative has an ad here.

Got the car. A nice Mitsubishi lancer. No wine for me today!
