Timaru and the road to it.

on the road again......... stopping along the way............... lots of sweetpeas growing......................lots of sheep a chew'n................maori drawings ..........kids a flying on our next destination of Timaru
I think we found some kin!! they look Tremblays or is that Robb's? Kurow is the town


Oh my lovely sweetpeas! everywhere on this road
More MacLeods- Don and Joan on our hike around the pond to the ocean in Timaru
Dinner in the caravan once again only Don and Joan joined us!
They have bunnies and the girls loved them. they where training them to be
oh the way to have fun!
we met Joan's cousin Jack, who built and collected all 9 old cars. Here Steve is telling him what to do with the steering on the 14 model T. He also has an Austin super 7 boat tail speedster from around the '30'sYep he's at it again, fixing this time planes. Steve had fun helping Jack get the microlite ready for airtime!



Flying time for the kids! this is the plane that Maya and Emma got to go for a flight in.


And Kyle got this one! He even got to fly !! very happy boy that day! this was a very unexpected treat! the kids loved it. this is a microlight and Jack is the main teacher . look at that smile!! He was in his element for sure!and yet another plane. this one is Jack's own plane. no flying in it that day just gave the engine a warm up. He hasn't been able to fly for a year, do to operations. but he enjoyed flying with kyle that day!
this is a replica of the plane Richard Pearse built. He was the first man to fly just ahead of the Wright Brothers. read below
and then to top it all of! We went for a walk on the beach and found this guy! our first penguin in the wild!
This little guy was so cute! look how close they got to him, off we went to leave him be, what a great way to end the day. certainly packed full for sure! We spent 3 days and nights there and even helped Joan and Don with the house they are working on for a couple of hours. the kids even got paid! they were excited to say the least
