Our return to Invercargill.

This morning the gang split up temporarily with Robin, Jenny, Geoff and Pauline heading out to the coast to Orepuki at a place called Monkey Island Road Reserve. The mind boggles over this one. We have headed back to the race course at Invercargill so that we are handy to the airport for Dot to catch her flight back to Wellington in the morning.

I will carry on through to Manapouri and Queenstown to meet up with the gang again and collect Dot from Queenstown airport on Saturday afternoon.

Leaving Winton we spotted a paddock covered in wheat sheaves which you don't see these days. I did hear mention recently about a Horse Show coming up very soon with all sorts of horse drawn farm machinery being put through their paces so perhaps that is what these sheaves are all about.

A rare sight these days. Wheat sheaves stacked up across the paddock.
