In a climate changed world, it turns out that Te Wai Pounamu really is the mainland:

@Azlancat exactly what we were saying here in #Palmy today, that and a large chunk of #TeWaipounamu is covered in snow!
We drove home to Ōtautahi-Christchurch from Blackball yesterday afternoon and whoo-whee did the Southern Alps turn on the scenery.
Too good not share. Here are some photos I took from our car as we drove. Full-res images are on Flickr.

The natural bridge "Whatatorere" was also known as Pōtiki-whata-rumaki-nao
Very grateful to anyone who could venture a translation

Are you in New Zealand's South Island? Take your camera outside and make a 10sec exposure of the southern sky.
#auroraaustralis #tewaipounamu #aotearoa #newzealand
Of course today I flew north across this line - I should be out under the clear #CentralOtago skies, scanning the southern horizon for the aurora
If you are, please point your long-exposure camera at the sky and tell us what it sees!

Perennially one of my favourite spots. The walk from Cape Farewell to Triangle Flat affords incredible panoramic views of Onetahua/Farewell Spit, the Old Man Range, and Puponga.

Travelling back in time—the South Island to ourselves: COVID-19 has made driving through #Aotearoa New Zealand pleasurable and easy, as Kip Brook embarks on a tour toward the Otago region http://lucire.com/2020/0921vo0.shtml #travel #NZ #holiday #TeWaipounamu #haere

I'm keen on more local instances, I'd love to help some happen. Maybe #tewaipounamu, IDK.
But I reckon by my definitions anyone who *wants* to run an instance might be the sort of person who probably shouldn't, because they are obviously confused or mistaken or don't care about things like I do.
IMO anyway, sorry all the admins I've slighted by saying this 👀
