Harbour & Tyne Historic Precinct - Oamaru - New Zealand by Steve Attwood

Harbour & Tyne Historic Precinct - Oamaru - New Zealand

The Harbour & Tyne Historic Precinct was the original commercial district of Oamaru. The grand, highly decorated buildings were built from locally quarried limestone - Oamaru whitestone, as it is called. Today the area is recognised as having New Zealand's most complete collection of Victorian buildings. As you walk around the streets you'll notice the Scottish Society Hall (1864), the Criterion Hotel (1877), Smith's Grain Store (1882) and the ornate Harbour Board offices. In keeping with the Victorian theme, various interesting businesses operate in the precinct including a bookbinder, a cobbler and curio shops. Locals in Victorian dress, or even riding a penny farthing bike, are not unusual here. In November each year the precinct hosts a Victorian fete which features the New Zealand National Penny Farthing Championships and the World Stone Sawing Championships.
The historic buildings and streets have featured in many TV series and movies. Such as "The Chronicles of Narnia," "The Power of the Dog," and "East of Eden".
This area is also known as the "Steam Punk" capital of New Zealand.
With its strong associations with the Victorian Steam era, Oamaru has embraced the steampunk movement particularly for its Victorian Precinct and Steampunk HQ.
The town is home to Steampunk HQ, a museum and art collaboration that celebrates steampunk through unique contraptions, sculptures, and audiovisual installations. The historic Victorian precinct, with its stone buildings, provides the perfect backdrop for the steampunk theme.
Oamaru has a thriving steampunk community, with events, games, and even a steampunk-themed children's playground.

Matapo - Otago shag - Leucocarbo chalconotus by Steve Attwood

Matapo - Otago shag - Leucocarbo chalconotus

A breeding colony of Otago shag on the old wharf at Oamaru Harbour, South Island, New Zealand.
An endemic shag with a conservation status of "nationally increasing, the Matapo are large marine shags with variable plumage, found only on the south-eastern South Island. The pied morph has striking black-and-white plumage, whilst the bronze form appears brown, but is iridescent in the right lighting conditions. On Otago Harbour, Otago shags are seen in ‘line astern’ squadrons heading to and from foraging grounds. The flocking behaviour, heavy build and flight close to the water is diagnostic within its range. The habit of group foraging in murky water places Otago shags at risk from set-net entanglement.
