Visiting parts south

I have just got back from 3 and a half days in Dunedin at the annual libraries conference at the University of Otago which is full of beautiful old buildings like these.

The first two days were beautiful (26 degrees which everyone from the taxi driver to the conference convener kept telling us was highly unusual) and then the normal weather returned and it looked more like this.

On Tuesday night about half of us took the train through the Taire Gorge, wonderfully rugged country. We turned around at Pukerangi - this was it, just the 'station' and one house. Oh and I got lots of great photos of telegraph poles.
