Centre of New Zealand!

Right up the hill behind Chris and Mara's house is the geographical centre of New Zealand. We hiked up there. The views out over Nelson were very nice. This is me balanced on the Centre of NZ.


This is what the Centre of NZ looks like from the trail. On May 14 1870, NZ's first-ever rugby match was played at the foot of this hill. Nelson Rugby Club beat Nelson College 2-0 and nobody ever looked back.
The hills over Nelson and the ocean. There are some sheep in this picture, of course.


Nelson's harbour.


I've got SO much more for you, but no time. Stay-tuned though because I'm going to crush 30 posts in November.
