Always a nice stop and we love Geraldine for its dog-friendly walks and friendly community feel. Shops galore and and of course the excellent butchers and chocolate and cheese shops and also the famous Barkers Jams and Juices factory shop. Superb!
We stopped at nearby beaches, and of course the famous pie-shop. Then we went to Temuka to see a friend and had the New Zealand traditional coffee and cake....
and then saw the historic pottery buildings. I learned that Temuka literally means in Maori 'big oven' in that the pottery was the main industry here until tourism took over.
No poison hereabouts - phew! mainly because of the landscape - DoC can't use the excuse of being inaccessible here when the land is flat and on flood plain..
