    Thanks for watching y'all and so glad to be back after a short hiccup! If you want to see our trip to St.Bathan's Domain, be sure to follow our friends Glen & Mado & keep an eye out for when the video goes live. See you next week as we continue to explore more of the AMAZING Catlins region.

    I was in the Catlins recently for a music festival and ' the accom ' was a motel right on Curio Bay , stunning vista . In the morning, one of my bandmates beckoned me outside and pointed to dolphins frolicking in the surf ...

    Hope you're enjoying your trips around our beautiful South Island. The weather is a lot cooler down there, however over on the east coast, we have been having scorching weather, multiple days of 30c+. And we now have a wildfire burning on our Port Hills in Christchurch :( Looks to be under control now, but a couple of days ago, it was huge.
    Anywho, keep on trucking, looking forward to seeing what more of our beautiful island you get to see.

      While we could've used a little bit more sunshine on this trip, we're so sad to hear about the Port Hills fire. Being from the west coast of Canada we are no strangers to forest fires :( thank you for the well wishes, we can't wait to explore more of this country

    Such a cool place! We were at Purukaunui beach 3 weeks ago and there were Hectors dolphins catching the waves with the surfers. It was the cutest thing ever!

    Lived in Dunedin for about 9 months, we would regularly go out and harvest mussels from the shoreline, it was a pretty awesome place.

      I heard about many of the F.I.R.E. (financial independence retire early) movement people doing that in Canada near the ocean.

    The name Niagara Falls was given by some early settlers in the area as a joke and it just stuck!

      @@nickandraychel I played a music festival at Niagara falls earlier this year . Literally in the backyard of the cafe that is a former church , a truly amazing experience . We stayed at Curio Bay right on the Beach . I just walked outside our unit and took photographs that are so gorgeous they look faked . As to settler humour there is a Shenandoah River at the other end of the South Island that is a glorified creek that all but dries up in a hot summer ...
