OUTRAM OUTINGS

Outram, where we are staying at the moment, is a rural suburb of Dunedin.  It is located at the edge of the Taieri Plain, close to the foot of Maungatua.  The population according to the 2006 census was 642.

Dunedin is the celtic name for Edinburgh and the place has a real Scottish feel.  

There are a number of attractive buildings ...

the most photographed being the Railway Station,  a great example of Edwardian architecture.  We decided to take our picture through the car window, just to be different!

We also visited Larnach Castle, on the Otago Peninsula, the only castle in New Zealand.

which had lovely gardens, perfect for afternoon tea.

So much more to explore, but we are off now on a self drive trip around the South Island.  We'll be back.
