Ashburton

We spent 2 days (well 2 half days) down at Ashburton visiting Kerri's Grandmother. Ashburton is about an hour's drive from Christchurch. It's a farming hub for the mid Canterbury region. I also met a few more of Kerri's relatives.

Below is the Ashburton Domain. It's a big public park & is really quite pretty in autumn.

Rakaia

Rakaia is a small town a short drive north of Ashburton. It appears to be a big time fishing hub. Check out the 20 ft salmon.
