The botanical gardens are impressive too - for a small town, Includes a Peter Pan statue similar to the one in Kensington, London.

Oamaru Rules! 👍👍👍👍

[@jajahgadis]

I've spent 2 weeks travelling around NZ, from Auckland to Dunedin and back to Christchurch. Oamaru was my favourite place, what an incredible little town.

[@ExploreNewZealand]

So pleased you liked it. I can't wait to go back again

[@johng1kic]

Your best one yet Mark. I overnight there a few times a year when I visit Macraes Gold Mine on business (they also have a public tour) and can vouch for the local restaurants and cafes. Next visit I must make time to see the Steam Punk Museum.

[@jamestutanekai5060]

Thank you

[@jchrvat]

Really nice and informative video! What is the best time of the year to go and see the pinguins? Keep it up!

[@ExploreNewZealand]

Sorry for late reply, I would think now, we went in July and there weren't very many

[@aspiratedaloha2946]

Cheers

[@natalliask]

Been there , very beautiful…. Was wandering how it was built with small amount of resources at those times

[@ExploreNewZealand]

So sorry for the late reply. Oamaru is made from a Sandstone locally sourced and is known as Oamaru Stone. The main street is very wide and was designed that way so that the bullock trains could turn around. Our ancestors were very resourceful.

[@chargerchick4u]

@@ExploreNewZealand It's actually Limestone** and it's pronounced OMaru.. **Oamaru stone is limestone with a uniform granular creamy white consistency and colour. Predominantly (90%) calcium carbonate, trace chemicals within it include alumina (1.5%), iron oxide (0.5%) and silica (0.5%).

[@DOUGALUS]

Thanks for an informative look at Oamaru. Please tone down the background music please.

[@ExploreNewZealand]

Thank you, I'll take note of your comment

[@garycollingwood4002]
