Is all about outdoor today! We gone to the Elephant rocks at Duntroon today which is my main targeted destination at Oamaru this trip, I personally requested Ondy to bring me there after seeing the photo on Oamaru tourism website.
Basically it is located at Waitaki valley district, and only accessible via cars. Luckily I have Ondy with me, though we actually lost for nearly an hour to arrive there.
We met a helpful farmer to lead us there, though Ondy was saying there is another easier way because we were driving along a gravel road across the farms and on top of the moutain, but look what we saw on this way which the farmer indicated!
I felt myself was in heaven =)
Around 20mins later, we finally reached!
I was super-excited and ran to the rocks like a child who just first learnt to run.
The view is magnificent, superb! All rocks are huge with different shapes.
Some looks like elephant,
crocodile,
whale,
and even human face!
I was too excited while i fall down again when I roughly climbing on the hill with slippery limestone enriched =S Anyways, i am ok.
It is just unbelievable how these stones turned into this formation, and they are not lining side by side, each of them is standing by their own. Just like what Ondy described: Stubborn rock.
We packed and had a simple lunch on top of the 'whale'
Perhaps the scenary was too amazing and sarced, I actually had a lot of thought after lunch.
Ondy kept saying i love to think, i wonder if she means a good or bad way? Oh well, at least i am not stucked with my mind...
these rocks are too fantastic to view, so hard to leave them. Anyways we departed to the next stop, but before that not to mention there probably a movie set beside the elephant rocks!
Interesting! I so wanna explore it, but it was prohibited =( However, good to find out!, Probably is movie set for Horbitton or LOTR!
Then we visited Ondy's fren who owned 4 horses!
Her horses are really cute, although the only male - Shaf was fierce initially and kept on 'attacked' me...LOl
He kept on pushed me with his HUGE head, sorry if i only just gave u a small piece of carrot but it was yr owner's idea.....Blame her! =P
While Shaf is a bit capricious, the other 3 lady horses are well behaved and friendly =)
One of them (i think named Cookies) licked my hand too, so cute and warm.
They are actually quite big while I standing beside them.
After spending some time with horses and Ondy's fren, Ondy dropped me at the Oamaru garden for a short while.
The garden is quite huge and also very chilly in winter. I personally like the playground, I think Oamaru did a good job on entertaining children, it was the humty dumpty!
Let's stay young! =)
