Taieri Gorge Train Trip

After the gorge, the train heads up onto the
Taieri Plateau. Looks a lot like Alberta's
badlands, so I felt right at home! New Zealand,
July 25, 2009.

Yes, that is snow on them thar hills! SO much
colder in Central Otago than here in Dunedin
by the coast. Brrr! New Zealand, July 25, 2009.

Our destination for the evening -
Middlemarch, population 240. Very
fun little outpost on the plateau, surrounded
by elk farms and cows. New Zealand,

Middlemarch's only bank. New Zealand,
