Cape Palliser Batch - July 2011

After being hermits in our house for a few months of New Zeland winter, we dug ourselves out and went away for Morag's birthday in their batch at Cape Palliser. Popped out after a light Saturday night to see the seal collony and the lighthouse. We like lighthouses. They are cool. This one had 250 steps up to it and was first lit in 1897, the lighthouse was staffed until 1986, when it was automated.
