Larnach Castle & First Church - Dunedin NZ

Gidday men,

Have been down the line for some work this week, and skivved off to get some pics...

Dunedin is about 2.5 hrs north of my home town of Invercargill..but close enough...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larnach_Castle

Always a creepy place...(IMHO)(because of the bad karma there)







Looking from Otago Pen down the harbour towards Dunedin City.



Dunedins First Church

Wow, I knew New Zealand was beautiful, but I didn't know it had such wonderful architecture too!

One of my friends used to live in Auckland for many years. Now he’s back home. But watching his photos from Down under, was always a joy.
