Dunedin is a great place to stop off for three or four days, to visit the many wildlife attractions on the Otago Peninsula such as the Albatross Centre or take a buggy ride to see penguins and baby seals. KiwiRail no longer run passenger trains, but Dunedin Railways operate tourist trains over two of New Zealand-s most picturesque lines, the Taieri Gorge Railway to Middlemarch and The Seasider to Waitati and occasionally to Moeraki to see the weird and wonderful round boulders. The Dunedin coastline is made up of rocky cliffs and glorious sandy bays, most of them deserted. We jump back into our camper van to follow to coast road to Brighton, Taieri Mouth and Kaka Point before joining the Southern Scenic route to Te Anau passing through Papatowai, Tautuku Bay, Fortrose and Riverton along the way. Once in Te Anau we enjoy some of the activities available such as a scenic float plane flight over the lakes and mountains of the Fiordland National Park, before cruising on Lake Manapouri and Doubtful Sound.

Hi Tim another brilliant trip. Ive just come home from my road trip, East Coast over the Lewis Pass Chch and down to Dunedin, with my Nth Island girlfriend ive known since i was 17yrs old. Because of a weather bomb we didnt get from Dunedin to the west coast. Do you know there are wallabies in Waimate in the wild. We saw them. Waimate town is 6kms inland from the highway north of Oamaru. Once in Dunedin we saw x2 Royal Albatrsoss, one flew over the lookout we were standing on and another circled the visitors centre at Tiaroa Heads. We had lovely weather on our trip. The day we left Dunedin we saw on the news Dunedin had snow to sea level. We were back in Timaru still taking the sun with us till Arthurs Pass in torrential rain, but we loved it. Stopped at the bar-cafe for lunch and on to Hokitika then home to Westport via Coast road. My friend loved it. So i just letting you know Ilove your trips Tim.

Tim,
That was a delightful episode. The Land of the Long White Cloud (27: 18) with all bells and whistles. A privilege to be aboard the Train 02: 22, boat 40: 20 & particularly the float plane 32: 33 with the coastal road and vistas! Excellent scenes, expertly assembled. Thank you. Peter

Great video, stunning scenery. It takes me back to my own New Zealand road trip as well as filling in a few gaps. I didn't take in Doubtful Sound for example, but settled just for Milford Sound, so I am looking forward to seeing your next episode too. Thanks.

Hmmmmm. -Trains & Boats & Planes-, good title for a song there, perhaps we could get Burt Bacharach and Hal David to write it and get Billy J. Kramer to record it. could be a huge hit! LOL

Your video of the Transalpine Train several years ago is one of my favorites. I-m glad to see you have more videos from New Zealand. Such a beautiful country.
