Dunedin (Pt. Chalmers), New Zealand 

Down in the south-east corner of New Zealand’s South Island lies the beautiful, moody Otago Peninsula, created many millions of years ago by massive volcanic eruptions and tectonic upheavals.

Rich farmlands, vineyards, great tracts of wilderness, mountains and a magnificent shoreline draw travellers from around the world. To many, the area resembles parts of Scotland, with rugged, picturesque beauty melding with the ocean and charming, Victorian-era Dunedin, New Zealand’s fourth largest city and the South Island’s second biggest metropolis after Christchurch.
