Back in the 'Cargill

We made it back safely from Stewie Islie (I think it's going to catch on...) and collected our car from Bluff, our caravan from Invercargill, before bunking down in the campsite to enjoy some thai from Thai Thai on the main street.  Yum!
In the morning,  we headed to Queens Park.  It was a lovely park, so we planned to come back again in the afternoon.
We took a quick detour out of town to do a ride around the Roger Sutton Boardwalk.   (Meh.  It was partially over some ground reclaimed from a refuse station  so wasn't fabulous). Loads of birds seemed to enjoy the spot though. 
We went back to town to see the Bill Richardson Transport Museum.  Wow, that was an amazing collection of vintage cars, trucks, pedal cars and all sorts.  Well worth the visit.  Even a kids room for the kids to play with lego,  trains and screens!
Back to Queens Park, where PB and I explored the rose garden (where they were having scones, cucumber sandwiches and tea to mark 100 years since the rose garden was established). There was a Steampunk afternoon tea at the band rotunda,  and we found a cool playground and a rock garden.  We could have explored more,  as there was apparently  an aviary there,  but we wanted to hit the road. Carlos managed to find a painted rock on the Peter Pan statue, so we had fun hiding it again. Headed back to Bluff through blustery conditions,  congratulating ourselves for not being on the Foveaux ferry today in the fierce winds!  
Got a photo that DH wanted and then hit the road again to the association campsite in Niagara.  DH (and my lovely Mum, would you believe it? ) have taken great pleasure in mispronouncing this place name to sound more like an erectile enhancing medication.  Shame on them both!  :-)
