Christchurch New Zealand Post Earthquake

July 2, 2013 by Rosemary

On the 4 September 2010 a powerful earthquake hit the city of Christchurch in the South Island of New Zealand,  followed by another massive jolt on 22 February 2011 which killed 185 people and effectively destroyed the historic heart of the city.   This was not the end, it was followed by hundreds of aftershocks, and at least two more serious earthquakes.   Christchurch's February 22 and June 13 combined were second largest behind the Japan … [Read more...]

Central Otago – just one small slice of the paradise that is NZ

September 10, 2012 by Rosemary

Central Otago is at the bottom of the South Island of New Zealand - best access is via Dunedin, but easily found on a South Island Tour. It is a rich historic gold mining area which used to have a train connecting its small communities.  The train tracks have long since gone, replaced with one of the best cycling trails in New Zealand - The Otago Rail Trail.

A visit to Doubtless Bay in the North of New Zealand

May 29, 2009 by Rosemary

It was autumn, and past swimming for me - but it is still a beautiful time to walk and explore, and the weather was crisp and clear. Carrington Resort is one of NZ's luxury destinations - now with the Heritage Hotel chain it is set on the magical Karikari Peninsula. Its lovely low level traditional buildings are clustered on a knoll overlooking the golf … [Read more...]

Back home and settling in… Waipu

January 31, 2009 by Rosemary

I can not believe I have been home in Waipu for over a month, the time has flown. What a fabulous time to be here in Northland New Zealand - it is balmy clear weather, the sea is warm and inviting, the beach is still mostly empty, there are waves to frolic in, the dog still swims and catches waves with me and Waipu is still one of the best little places in the world. … [Read more...]
