2. 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!

3. 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.

   10 دقيقة

4. At Queens Gardens the tale is told of the first Scottish settlers, how they were welcomed by the Kai Tahu Maori, how they dealt with rain and mud, and why it was all worthwhile.

5. In the Exchange area we see the winged monkeys of the Cargill memorial and other fanciful shapes carved in stone.

• 5Outstanding experience in Dunedin

  Our tour guide, Gregor was knowledgeable friendly and most informative. He did not hesitate to answer our questions and provided interesting minor details that may not be commonly known. The Heritage Tour is appropriately named as Gregor shared information about the original peoples of the region, the European migration to the area and the significance of the historic buildings in the city centre.

About Dunedin

Dunedin is a Scottish-founded university city on New Zealand's South Island, beside the Otago Peninsula and its albatrosses, penguins and seals.

Dunedin was founded in 1848 by Scottish settlers, and its name is the Gaelic form of Edinburgh. The Octagon, an eight-sided plaza at the centre, is ringed by St Paul's Cathedral and the town hall and holds a statue of Robert Burns. Victorian and Edwardian buildings of dark stone fill the streets, among them the Flemish-style railway station and the Gothic First Church. The University of Otago, the country's oldest, gives the city a student character.
