Victorian Precinct
Photos from our road trip down the South Island of New Zealand in January. This shot was taken in Oamaru our stop of for lunch on the first day of our trip, January 20, 2015 New Zealand.
The whitestone townscape of Oamaru contains some of the best-preserved heritage buildings in New Zealand. In the late 19th century, the town prospered through gold-mining, quarrying and timber milling. Some of the wealth was spent on elegant stone buildings made from local limestone.
This Harbour-Tyne Street area in the Victorian precinct is particularly special and great for shopping is great too.
The name Oamaru derives from Māori words meaning the place of Maru.The identity of Maru remains open to conjecture.
