We travelled on through a landscape of Lakes and mountains and I have inumerable pictures which blend into one. These are of Lake Tekapo and Lake Pukaki. We went on to stay at Twizel, wonderful name. The lakes are remains of flooded glacial valleys and the Mount cook range behind is the edge of a plate being raised up.

Geraldine Motor and Machinery Museum
A real find. Occupying 5 enormous barnlike structures the museum boasts over 50 vintage and classic cars, 100 tractors from 1912 on and one 1929 Spartan Biplane. There is also an enormous collection of vintage frm machinery and early household appliances. Only a man could make a collection of grease guns , but once done ot's quite interesting. I was particularly taken by the 1920s van made over to a gypsy caravan in 1972/3 but probably their most unusual exhibit is the Harley Davidson with Hearse side car, which, strangely they don't rent out as I'm sure it would be a money spinner. As usual I can't remember what I photographed although some have useful labels if you zoom.
