Kiara and I were treated to a very scenic (and free!) train ride yesterday. The weather was absolutely beautiful, and the Taieri Gorge had every type of environment you could think of, from tropical forest, to pine forest, scrub bush wastelands (Think Lord of The Rings, fields of Rohan), and rocky cliffs....and lots of sheep. The railway wound its way among mid-sized mountains, through tunnels, and over wrought iron/stone bridges. While Kiara dozed in the shade during the hour long stop in the middle of no-where, I took a nice walk through a few (empty) pastures to get a better view of the surrounding mountains and river valleys. Overall, a very worthwhile six hours.
Take care.
