Dunedin's Heritage

After yesterday's tour, today was a more sedate walking 🚶‍♂️ tour of Dunedin's buildings and architecture. The 1st building of note and perhaps the most famous; well the most photographed is Dunedin railway station 🚆; built in 1906, in fact it is the second most photographed building in the southern hemisphere, after the Sydney Opera House. Across the road is the no longer used Dunedin Gaol, built 1896 & operating as a working prison for men & women until 2007. It is now used for adventure games where people pay to go in and are actively encouraged to escape by solving puzzles. Another well-known building in Dunedin is the Speights Brewery established in 1876 and is brewed for longer, thus reducing the amount of carbohydrates by 75% of other leading beers brewed in New Zealand. - I wish I had had a pint now instead of a half if it's healthy!! 🍺Read more
