Karitane, New Zealand

On a beautiful sunny day I joined my flatmates for a drive up to Karitane.  


The girls went exploring the peninsula and the beach while the boys went surfing.


We found a neat land bridge and snails that had a really cool iridescent shells...



 and these rocky pillar things:


Quite a weird and interesting shape!


These rocks below are evidence of volcanic activity from a long, long time ago - you can vaguely see the basalt columns that are similar to the Organ Pipes on Mt. Cargill.


It's not too far from the city center, maybe a 30 minute drive? It'd be a nice place for a little picnic. 

There's still so much to explore around Dunedin, I hope I can see it all in the next year!
