Hagley Park, Christchurch

Just love the stunning floral displays in Hagley Park this Summer.

New Brighton Kite Festival- Feb 09

A couple of weekends after we got back the kite festival was on so we headed to the coast. A very colourful site seeing everyone down on the beach flying their kites down at New Brighton Pier, Christchurch. 

Willowbank

Willowbank is the local wildlife park which we have an annual pass for. Lots of native Australasian animals and you actually get to see real live kiwi birds in the kiwi house! They are nocturnal flightless birds, not allowed to photograph them though so you will have to take our word for it. The photos are of a Pukeko (wading bird with the red beak), the kunekune pig (a real looker!) and the kea, a mountain parrot and extremely brave and mischievous (my favourite). Beth loves hand feeding the wallabies, who are very cute.

Just a few more photos!
