If you have never visited the South Island, go back and do it - utterly stunning. Fly into Wellington, get on the inter island ferry, go down Marlborough Sound to Pictron, then train to Christchurch and another across to Greymouth. Then hire a Campervan and travel everywhere.
We once did the train from Auckland to Wellington , over the channel and then Picton to Christchurch, then the Transalpine to Greymouth, then a 4x4 to Queenstown etc.If you have never visited the South Island, go back and do it - utterly stunning.

Here is my second trip to NZ. 7,000km and two plane trips. First trip I did the helicopter trip up to Franz Josef Glacier.
Brilliant. I have been twice before and been all over South Island. I swam with Hector’s Dolphins at Curio bay, down south. Just walked into the big surf from the beach and swam with them. Also want to a fantastic beer festival in Oamaru, on New Zealand's South Island, also known as the steampunk capital of the world. Got very drunk there and met a lovely fella who is one the last penny farthing cycle makers in the world. (He makes them for film sets). A really interesting guy, he persuaded me try a penny farthing with a very big hangover, amazingly I didn’t fall off. If I had my time again I would relocate to New Zealand.If you have never visited the South Island, go back and do it - utterly stunning.

If Tasmania sunk, I'd point my raft there for sure.
It can be arranged.
Seeing as Tasmania has the largest exposure of dolerite in the world, I'd say it is more stable than sandstone and limestone. So as usual we punch above our weightIt can be arranged.
Yet Victoria has the world famous Organ Pipes. Made from you know what.Seeing as Tasmania has the largest exposure of dolerite in the world, I'd say it is more stable than sandstone and limestone. So as usual we punch above our weight
I would suggest the ones that loom over my capital city are better known, given all the cruise ships and easy accessibility!Yet Victoria has the world famous Organ Pipes. Made from you know what.
I have this tome if it's any usePaper, Scissors, ...
If only there was a Geologist in the forum to sort this out. @Rok_Dr, Do you know anyone?
Does coming second in the Higher School Certificate (NSW) in Geology count? Many, many years ago now.Paper, Scissors, ...

Much has changed since I was at school also!
Until the @Rok_Dr shows up in this thread, you're winning.
See the link to the you tube I posted above.I was surprised to learn during a visit to the NW Tasmanian region some years ago that as far as geology goes, Tasmania has more in common with the USA than the Australian mainland. The theory goes that Tasmania was once attached to the western side of North America
Finders keepers (I'm talking to you DT!), but are you sure the island is well anchored @Tazzieman?
