Am Vormittag noch einmal ein Einkaufsbummel durch die Altstadt von #Canterbury bevor es endlich wahr wird: #RanagoesWales
I'm at half time but this is a good game
Both sides are laced through with international players and newbies alike
High quality considering the mix of professionals, amateurs and inexperienced

This is becoming quite a big local problem here in #Canterbury. But the council needs to pay its workers fairly, so I can't blame them for being on strike. If they won't pay a decent wage until January, then I guess they should stay on strike until January.
I'll drop off the rats at the council offices.

A horse traveling at a moderate pace to Canterbury gives us the word "canter," a shortening of the 17th century "Canterbury pace." A singing horse might be a "cantor." #words #tips #canterbury #singinghorses

We’d hoped to whale watch during previous visits to New Zealand, but weather/ itinerary hadn’t allowed it. This time we were determined to see sperm whales in the wild—before they’re gone. Kaikōura in North #Canterbury has a good record for whale watching success.

Had a fantastic day in Canterbury yesterday (and will no doubt post some photos of the cathedral and city in due course!) but a totally unexpected highlight was the Small Films exhibition at the Museum - apologies to anyone not familiar with British Kids TV of the 1970’s, but I was extremely happy to see the original Clangers #nostalgia #knitting #Canterbury #kidstv

(1/2) Weka Pass Historic Reserve is reached via 2km walk from Waikari in North #Canterbury. A limestone overhang within contains Māori rock art, studied by Haast in 1876 but tragically “preserved” with house paint in 1929. An overnight food gathering camp in former forest, the shelter (📷1) contains charcoal & kōkōwai/ red ochre images of people (📷2), fish (📷3) & dogs (📷4).

In 1997 Raymond Herber bought an unused lime works nr. Amberley in North #Canterbury as a home/ workshop. Now Iron Ridge Quarry Sculpture Park, a small collection of sculptures in metal & rock has views over the Waipara River/ peaks of 3 Deans (📷1). See the kinetic “Two Worlds” move (📷2). Try the self-motivational “Kick up the backside machine” (📷3) or “Snippercycle” (📷4).

We met the Rakaia River some days back in Rakaia Gorge (📷1). In legend the former home of a taniwha, it’s one of the largest rivers in #Canterbury. On the coast the north branch (📷2) separates Rakaia Island from the main bed of the river. We reached the main river mouth (📷3) by walking along the 3km long stoney spit nr. Rakaia Huts; it forms part of the lagoon (📷4); saw 🦭

Ōpule Thermal Pools & Spa in Methven #Canterbury has Discovery Pools for all the family (📷1). Tranquility Pools (📷2) are adult only, with access to Discovery side & a swim-up bar (📷3) also serving food (canapes, pizza, sharing platters, etc.). Opened Nov 2021, Rangitata River 💦 water is heated to 38.5 degrees by a large ☀️ solar system. Fake caves (📷4) have fake glow worms!

Fairlie in #Canterbury wasn’t doing much trade in ice cream this frosty winter morning (📷1), but the well-known bakery was selling pies like… well, hot pies (📷2). We’d like to think Susie, the resident cat, sought our company rather than pie filling. North of Fairlie, the still waters of Lake Opuha provided great reflections (📷3&4), but there was green algae in the water.

Red Tarns Track crosses Black Birch Stream (📷1) behind Mt Cook village; the well-graded track then ascends steeply ~300m to the tarns, with great views back to plains below (📷2). It’s 4km from the DOC camp, which took us 1.5h up/ 1h down. The tarns are named for red pond weed in them; not red here, but Mt Sefton backdrop (📷3). Tarn reflects Aoraki/Mt Cook (📷4). #Canterbury

Oi Manawa/ #Canterbury Earthquake National Memorial marks 185 dead & 7,000 injured in the 22/02/11 quake—& wider ripples of trauma (📷1&2). Some 80% of #Christchurch CBD was damaged; much has now been renewed, such as The Terrace development (📷3). From afar we learned the meaning of “liquefaction” & saw clever barrow explanation: this & more to see/ hear at Quake City (📷4).
