(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
The OctagonPass-by Only
Starting the tour here, learn about the amazing buildings that survive in the center of town. It survives by good luck rather than good planning.
The Dunedin Railway Station is the second most photographed building in the southern hemisphere, second to the Sydney Opera House. We go inside the foyer of the station with its Royal Doulton tiled walls and mosaic floor made with approximately half a million pieces. She's currently under works so covered with scaffolding, however they've kindly printed a picture of the building on the outside!
Toitu Otago Settlers Museum
Passing Toitu we see Josephine, the first locomotive in Otago and hear its story - how it came here, how it was nearly lost to history and how it survived.
