Last weekend, we took a plane and flew over the Twelve Apostles. They are spectucular rock stacks that rise up to 70 metres from the ocean. These amazing formations are remnants from constant erosion of the limestone cliffs of the mainland that began 10-20 million years ago. Stormy ocean waves and winds gradually eroded the cliffs creating these arches. They are still eroding and some 15 years ago, people had walked out to view them on connected land like the one in front. Suddenly, the rock gave way in the middle, stranding the people out on a stack. No one was injured, but the people had to be rescued via helicopters. So we viewed them from a safe distance - in the sky!

Getting up close and personal with the kangas here. At the top is Roxy, I met her on Kangaroo Island. Her mum was killed by a car and so she is being raised by humans. That is why I was able to pet her. On the bottom, I am golfing on a course where the kangaroos live. They do not let you get too close, but they do not mind when you hit little whit balls in their direction.

Now you may think that this is just a beautiful shot of the scenery in New Zealand, however, there is more to it than meets the eye. This was actually the location for the Lord of the Rings movie. For those of you who are true fans, the land was used for the Pelennor Battlefield. The largest ever day of filming in the trilogy with over 1500 actors and crew involved.

These are Hector's dolphins or the world's smallest dolphin. Just 15 minutes from the centre of Christchurch, New Zealand, is the beautiful Lyttelton Harbour. We went on a two our wildlfe cruise, where besides seeing tons of dolphins, we saw a former whaling station, volcanic sea cliffs, and a Greenpeace boat and their headquarters. We missed the excitement, however, as the next day there was a fight between Greenpeace and a whaling ship right in the harbour. Do some research to find out about the Greenpeace cause.
