The second is of the town hall, where I once worked as a cleaner. Some very nice photos in there, makes me wish I could go and take few myself.

Re: Calling all the Kiwi's
Thanks Jon! That is the name. I was searching my brain and could not remember. I went to the website and the google link. Boy, that area has grown a lot since I was there! I also saw some pics in the web recently of downtown ChCh and it has grown a lot also. I guess we forget that progress (?) is constantly going on world wide! Thanks for your input!

Re: Calling all the Kiwi's
Peter, good to hear from you. My friend Roger whose boat we were on in the pics from the Blenheim/Picton now lives on the outskirts of Sydney. He lives far enough out that he has an observatory building for his telescopes. I hope you and your wife have a great time in NZ. I never visited N Island, but S Island has got to be some of the most incredible scenery I have ever seen. As soon as my daughter gets married and leaves home I have already told my Margaret that we are going back there again for at least 2 months! Walt This is very interesting...

Re: Calling all the Kiwi's
I spent a blissful three weeks working on the south island some nine or ten years ago. I loved it. I could live there in a heartbeat. Wonderful place, wonderful people.

Re: Calling all the Kiwi's
Yes they are spectacular. Looking at them I can't help to think of how bored the locals must be with the scenery.

Re: Calling all the Kiwi's
Walt, That's a great gallery with spectacular views. Franz Joseph and Queenstown remind me that I have updated shots from 2006. That gas station in Franz Joseph is still there and the first thing you see. I also showed my wife the picture of your's, just to remember when WE were thin and not gray. ;-) Regards, Bob S.

Re: Calling all the Kiwi's
Thanks all for the comments. I'm still hoping some of the members who are from/in NZ will see and post. I am still sorting out the cobwebs of my brain trying to remember the name of that castle!
