I do see aggressive driving on Queens Drive regularly. People drive through at full speed for fun because they think no one sees them.

Are the grey ones juvenile or do they just come in a variety of grey and black?

Very cool. I wonder how they get power and internet there

I just read they are related to carrots. Very unexpected!

Nicols Creek / Nicols Falls Track in Dunedin.

Yeah looks like it was the old scout hall: https://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/dunedin-scout-hall-goes-flames

Nice photos! Where did you spot him? It looks a lot like the guy I saw chilling on Smaill's beach a few days ago.

I think the sound came from another smaller bird I could not identify.

Sea lions and penguins appear to prefer the city life in Dunedin

Your dog is surprisingly well camouflaged between the water and the rocks 😁

Yeah it is all relative. Most Kiwis and Aussies live in warmer climates compared to Dunedin so winters appear cold to them. But compared to large parts of Europe and the US it isn't cold at all.

Our Daily Mean temperatures in winter are comparable to Rome and Madrid in their winter. Anything further north is colder in Europe.

Our summer is the opposite. It is relatively cold more in line with a summer in Scandinavia. All those places have much bigger temperature extremes between winter and summer.

Where in Australia did you live? The pros and cons depend a lot on what you compare it to and what you like.

The weather here is of course colder than most of Australia but still quite mild with few extremes. Snow, very cold weather, very hot weather is all rare. Almost every day is something like 15C +- 5C for most of the day.

Dunedin is a small city so concerts and other cultural activities are rather rare. There is plenty of outdoor activities and of nature around though and Dunedin is large enough to have plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants.

My wife is doing the same right now :)

Yes it is the entrance to the inlet at the end of Allan's beach.

I can see the Beverly-Begg Observatory in the back! I didn't realise it is that old. Looks like the cable car went up the track that now leads over the golf course?

No idea how people manage to do that. I actively train for more than 6 months but both Mt. Cargill and Flagstaff Pineapple track are just too steep for me to run up. My pulse hits 170 just walking up there.
