Akaroa day one on our two day trip away to escape from the earthquake repair/paint on our house. May 22, 2012.
Akaroa is a village on Banks Peninsula in the Canterbury region of the South Island of New Zealand, situated within a harbour of the same name. The name Akaroa is Kāi Tahu Māori for 'Long Harbour'.
Akaroa is 84km by road from Christchurch and is the terminus of State Highway 75. Set on a beautiful, sheltered harbour and overlooked by craggy volcanic hills, Akaroa is a popular resort village and in summer the temporary population can reach 7,000 which places stress on the summer water supply, which is entirely dependent upon rainfall on the hills.
Many Hector's Dolphins may be found within Akaroa harbour, and 'swim with the dolphins' boat tours are a major tourist attraction.

A few of the rusted relics at Gammons Gulch
Gammons Gulch is a reconstructed old western town created by Jay Gammons. It is a mix of 1880’s to 1930’s early America. The town has been used in movies, commercials and music videos. The movie set has a large collection of antiques, old cars and movie memorabilia. You can get a guided tour of this little town. Jay will tell you the history of just about every item he has collected over the years while creating the town.
