We ventured on our trip to Oamaru! With a COVID lockdown just after we advertised this trip it left everything so up in the air with not knowing if we would get the interest for this trip to go ahead but we managed to get the numbers!
We had such a great weekend with a great bunch of people joining us! It was lovely meeting everyone and getting to know them Saturday we stopped in at Moeraki Tavern for lunch, the whole group of 26 people throughly enjoyed their meal and the service we received, we highly recommend if you are heading past to call in!
Once we arrived in Oamaru we got to tour the amazing Riverstone Castle and had Dot herself show us through. The words used were mind blowing, amazing, more than we could have imagined it would be (even the men on the trip secretly enjoyed it!) it is definitely a tick off the bucket list.
Last but not least we enjoyed Steampunk Oamaru museum and a walk around the farmers market and heritage precinct.
The Brydone Hotel hosted us, they didnt expect us all to end up there for dinner but they did a great job at managing us all.
We are going to make this a yearly tour after the wonderful feedback received by all who joined us on this trip!
We had the pleasure of taking a group from Kaiapoi around the scenic sites Southland has to offer. They throughly enjoyed their stay in the deep south and the great southern hospitality of Southland.
On Sunday 21st February Karl had the opportunity to take some of the Southland Dahlia club members on a trip to Bluff. This was an excellent way to wind down after hosting the National Dahlia flower show in Invercargill.
The weather was perfect, Karl made the slow and steady trip up Bluff hill in the big girl (the bus)
A stop to stirling point was also part of the itinerary, again panoramic views out to sea with such a clear day.
On the way back to Invercargill they stopped in at Awarua Communications Museum where they watched an old film in the theatre. A great set up and a wee gem to the Southland community.
