Early in the New Year I went out to the Peninsula to try to have a look at Ōtākou Marae.  This is about 25 km from Dunedin City Centre; I started by taking the 18 bus from the bus hub to Portobello, then hitched to Ōtākou.
Plaque marking where the Weller Brothers, whalers, landed.  They founded the first white settlement in 1831.
While out at Wellers Rock I saw the Monarch Wildlife Cruise coming in.  There were a few spaces on the next tour so I decided to go on that.  The boat leaves from the Wellers Rock Pontoon.
