a place of mystery, history and natural wonders, 
a land of snow capped mountains, glacier-fed lakes, and windswept coastlines.

Where wildlife frolic freely on shores 
and penny farthings roam ever more, 
where Victorian streetscapes, steam trains
and steampunk teleport you to times gone by, 
and where glorious sunrises captivate  eastern skies.

Oamaru, is intriguing, endearing, charming, a little whacky,

family friendly and so totally unique from any other NZ town.

This is the tapestry of our Region, 
the mighty Waitaki;
rich in scenic contrast, unique culture 
and haunting natural beauty.
