| Otago is a pretty peninsula a stone's throw away from Dunedin |
 |
| With dramatic cliffs |
 |
| With allsorts of birds nesting, like these Spotted Shags |
 |
| It's formed from the remnants of an ancient volcano |
 |
| Which means you can go up the cliff road and see both sides of the peninsula, with impressive sights |
 |
| Afterwards, we went further west to Nugget Point, a set of cliffs jutting out into the sea |
 |
| These rocks meant a lighthouse being erected here in 1870, it taking the lives of many sailors on smaller craft |
 |
| Seals can be seen from the cliffs |
 |
| Further west again, we went for a river walk, only accesible at low tide |
 |
| And then went to Surat Bay, where not all the rocky looking lumps were actually rocks... |
 |
| There are numerous sealions along the beach, who come up to bathe and sleep.... |
 |
| They can get quite big, so you have to keep your distance. This one had loads of scars on itself |
 |
| Next we went to see some waterfalls. It had rainned all day the day before, so they were gushing! This is Purakaunui |
 |
| This is Matai Falls |
 |
| This is also Matai Falls |
 |
| And this is McLean Falls |
