Dunedin from Otago Peninsula
Outskirts of Dunedin from Otago Peninsula
Dunedin again.
Otago Peninsula drive.
Dunedin's bay.
Still driving down the Otago Peninsula.
Houses on the peninsula
Here be albatrosses.
That's the visitor centre.
This is the mouth of the bay into Dunedin.
Replica albatross.
Jail info.
Old cells.
Security going up to Albatross nesting. Keeps the cats, rats and ferrets out.
Baby albatross and some cormorants.
Two baby birds (through a window)
The mouth of the Dunedin bay.
Looking back to Dunedin.
Another baby albatross. This one actually tried to walk.
Sadly...never saw an adult.
View from the top. That's my car down there next to the black one.
Old military base map.
Lighthouse from the observation post.
Gun ammo.
More ammo.
Only a few tons.
The gun.
More of the gun. It rises, shoots, and recoils back underground using hydrolics.
Guns.
Local defenses against the Russians.
Nugget Point
Penguin sign. But it was too early. I'll come back later.
Steep cliffs. There was a seal playing in some water way down there.
Lighthouse path.
Beware of Cliffs!!
I had to drive down a dirt road farther than you can see.
Cliff.
Not trying to be artistic. The gate was closed to the lighthouse.
The point of Nugget Point: the nuggets.
Can't drive that far without taking more pictures.
This is looking south. I have to drive 3 more hours that way.
The kind of stuff you might see if you really squint.
Yup. A nugget.
Sea lions may chase you....and can bite!
Hmmm. Nothing there.
Go inside the hut so the penguins won't see you.
Hmm. I'm hiding, and they're still not there.
Still nothing.
Gave up on the penguins and now the sheep are giving me a hard time.
Take your time.
It was windy. That white blur is mist off the ocean.
That's there I was. Lookout!
