During Adam’s visit, we took a 6-night road trip south. We spent the first night in Oamaru, a small town with a Victorian heritage. Oamaru sits on the coast, offering lovely views, Victorian architecture, and penguins.
Our night there we watched Fairy penguins (the smallest penguin breed) arrive on shore from their day at sea. We saw these penguins in Australia last year, but can you ever get enough of penguins? We witnessed several hundred penguins come home. They arrive in “rafts,” congregate on the beach, and then make a run … err, waddle for their burrows. It is a pleasure to see. No photos allowed during the penguin “parade,” but we did get some fun related photos.
We spent the morning exploring the Victorian precinct and enjoying the small-town vibe.
Oamaru has an interesting history.
More to come,
Shana & Jeff
