South Island Scenic Route

Beachcombing, apparently there are gem stones just waiting to be snaffelled up. If I had a day job I wouldn't be giving it up !!:)


This is a very windy place all the trees look like this :)



Piece of coastline with a fossilised forest. This area was once a kind of estuary and the trunks were washed down covered in sediment and millions of years later their petrified remains are exposed once again




Bit of tree trunk in the rock





Don't worry big fella I'm definately not commin any closer :) We came upon this bloody great sea lion one evening. We were just walking down a deserted beach. No one for miles and the puppy was just laid out on the beach having a nap






It was cold, windy and the light fading. But the sea lion was just in his element sleeping like a baby. Felt quite sad seeing him there all on his own.
