Don't forget to visit other beautiful Victorian buildings in oamaru too. The Catholic basilica is just gorgeous. I loved the architecture, took many photos. Oamaru you are a special place. Great to attend Steam Punk Festival events too.
We kind of stumbled into the Precinct,because of the flags! What a delightful place to visit ! One gets an idea of the past,as well the present with some great shops!!
