greetings.
Spent the last couple of weeks on holiday in Dunedin, New Zealand. Managed to get some pictures on the last day. Excuse the quality of the images, I know it's not great but it's not terrible :). Enjoy.

From the bottom of Baldwin Street, the world's steepest street (edit- I've recieved word that this infact is no longer the worlds steepest street, despite the sign at the bottom saying it is!):

A closer view. The 3 highish buildings in the foreground are part of Otago University.

Dunno what its purpose is but it's a beautiful building in the university.

Nice pics, and thanks for showing a city I've never seen before. Looks like some classic stuctures there.

Great Photos. I love seeing places that I know little about. I had a boyfriend from Christchurch a while back who said that Otago - Dunedin and Invercargil are basically very Scottish and they even have a different accent to normal NZ - is that true?

Looks like some classical buildings there and its bigger than I thought too.

It's true in a way. The buildings that represent the scottish accent of the area can't really be found anywhere else in New Zealand. But otherwise they aren't _to_ different to other cities.

As for its size, the population is about 110,000 (or near abouts).

It snows occasionally in the winter. I was unfortunate enough for it not to snow while I was there, but there is usually 3-5 snow-days a year I think.
