Coastal Otago

An oddity that works. The Scots did their best to tame the beast but wildlife still prevails. Get a hip flask of whisky, a kilt and stride the coast with purpose.

Elephant Rocks: about 30 minutes out of Oamaru heading inland towards Duntroon make the effort to go past Elephant Rocks (where Narnia was filmed) It's free access into privately owned farmland. It's a massive boulder field that people into rock climbing play on. It's worth taking a picnic and taking the time to work out what sorts of animal these rocks all represent. All around this area are heaps of fossils; you may even see parts of Moa and whale......

The old buildings in Oamaru are great, spend time walking around watching the carvers work with the “white stone” (local limestone), spend time in the local free art galleries, go to the fresh bakery, drink some whiskey and watch out for the local people in their Victorian era clothing riding penny farthing bikes..... Better in the weekend.
