Highways and byways
Church Lane, behind St Peter’s Church is one of the many lanes which comprise the town centre in Queenstown. Lots of interesting shops, bars, women’s clothing stores, bars, (bad) art galleries, bars and hotels with bars. I like the way

Rivers and creeks
I have encountered a few rivers and creeks in my travels. Above is the Avon River which runs through Christchurch. It is very clean and about the size of Cambridge’s Cam, hence the punting which you can see in this

Sweet suites
That’s my balcony, with the red chair. Quite a pleasant apartment suite, just up coronary hill (below) from the town centre – a nice walk down, but an incline on the return. Apart from the town centre on the bay,

Going gondola
Of course I arrived before anyone in Queenstown was prepared for me, so I took advantage of the quiet morning to take a gondola ride up a nearby peak to see the town, literally, from above. It was a spooky

Lord of the Rings and things
Off on an adventure to Queenstown on Air New Zealand. They are a bit obsessed with the whole Lord of the Rings and whatever the latest trilogy is called (Buffy, Freddo??) even their safety drill video is acted out by

Cathedrals and cardboard
The glories of Christchurch’s Cathedral are no more, the tower having broken in half during the earthquakes, now demolished. It seems unlikely that the cathedral canve saved. It was at the epicentre of the earthquake that occurred in a previously

The lost city
It is extraordinary to survey the damage caused by the 2011 earthquakes in Christchurch NZ. So much of the city centre is simply missing. Many of the city properties are now vacant land, and of those pre-earthquake building that remain,

Up, up and away
The Duchess is on holidays with her Aunt and I venture forth for a week off. This is the tail of my plane. I didn’t realise it at the time I took this photo. I was on the transit bus

When The Best Offer is not quite good enough
I very much enjoyed the beginning of this film. It reminded me of elements of A Single Man which was a singularly excellent film. Geoffrey Rush’s performance is a worthy reason to see this film, and I enjoyed Jim Sturgess

This is EPIC
No sooner had I ventured out of Melbourne (well, almost), than there is a change of Prime Minister. You can’t turn your back for a moment. At least this one I have met in church. They say practice makes perfect
