Christmas Holiday in Wanganui - daytime

In these final pictures of my quick break in Wanganui, a few daytime photos. As you can see, Wanganui had the same great summer days as everyone else had. Great timing :-)

The first is on an "art" installation on the river front, right next to where the regular Saturday market operates from. Lots of sunshine. The second and third pictures are from the beach walk. Lots more sunshine! The last photo is a rough and ready panoramic stitched image from some pictures taken from the tower on top of the Durie Hill elevator tower [click on the image for the larger version!].

Christmas Holiday in Whanganui

This year I went up to Whanganui to visit my folks for a few days. It was nice relaxing time, with a bit of "geek" stuff to do [setting up a secure wifi router], and a good chance to catch up with a number of other rellies.

Amazingly, the weather was very good all bit one day - that "one day" was windy and wet... much like Wellington is on a regular basis!! :-)

We did get out the see some of the sights. In this first post, there are pictures of, and from, the Durie Hill Tower. it's around 30 meters [100 feet] above the ground level. You'll see from the pictures that it is also a great vantage point to see over Whanganui.

Photos are of the Durie Hill Tower and of Whanganui, starting from the river mouth. Enjoy!
