Fong > Lanarch Castle, close to Dunedin. Actually a mansion, of course! The original owner made his money from banking. Picture taken by Dr. Stephen Fong, with a Sigma SA-300N (35mm SLR).

Fong > Between Christchurch and Dunedin. Picture taken through a window from a moving bus. Australians like to joke about New Zealanders and sheep. New Zealands from the North Island like to joke about the relationship between South Islanders and their sheep ('where the men are men, and the sheep are nervous'). In fact, sheep outnumber humans in both New Zealand and Australia.
Fong > New Zealand is well known for its many sheep. We travelled around New Zealand using the InterCity buses and Newman's buses. Although they are transport buses, the drivers  give a running and non-intrusive commentary on any points of interest.
Fong > Queenstown is perhaps the premier tourist destination of New Zealand south island, if not New Zealand itself. There is plenty of 'adventure' tourism, such as bungee-jumping, horse-riding, white-water rides and various parachuting/para-gliding. The parachute in the picture is a tandem-jump from the same hill from which this picture was taken. This picture is taken from a cable-car servicing the hill.
Fong > Mount Cook is New Zealand's tallest mountain. Edmund Hillary (of Everest fame) cut his teeth on these mountains.
