Oamaru is about an hour and a half drive north of Dunedin. An arty town, huge limestone buildings adorn the streets, many having benefited from recent restoration projects such as the Opera House. It's the Steampunk capital of the Southern Hemisphere and boasts a picturesque harbour.
Photo opportunities abound, starting with my hanging with the toadstools at Oamaru Public Gardens...

The town itself is very pretty and quirky.
On Saturday afternoon we drove out to Elephant Rocks, an incredible natural earthwork.

On Sunday we met my brother and his partner and went for a walk around the harbour.

And of course, Mum and I indulged in a little retail therapy (her lovely scarf was a purchase that day!).
