Dunedin & The Otago Peninsula

After a brief stop at Kaka Point we arrived in Dunedin at around lunchtime. After a bite to eat we set out to have a nosy around the city before enjoying a relaxing evening on the campsite.

The next day we headed out of the city and along to the head of the peninsula. We cut back along the High Cliff Road where we stopped off at Sandfly Bay for a walk and the chance to see some wildlife. Again, we missed the penguins (wrong time of day) but managed to see loads of lazy sea lions basking in the sun! We watched from the hide at the end of the beach for a while then made our way back up the steep dunes to the car park. After a brief stop at St. Kilda Beach and Dunedin's centre, we drove back to the campsite for a few beers.

The following morning we had a long journey ahead of us as our next destination was Mount Cook National Park. However, we decided to make one last stop in Dunedin and visit the Sports Hall of Fame which is located inside the impressive railway station. The museum, although small, was full of interesting displays, facts, figures, and memorabilia collected from New Zealand's sporting heroes - well worth the NZ$5 entry!
