Picton

On the last day of our holiday, we visited the small town of Picton. Set in Queen Charlotte, it is the port where the ferries that provide a link between the North Island and the South Island berth. The inter-island ferries take people, cars and railway wagons across Cook Straight into Wellington harbour at the bottom of the North Island. On a sunny summer day, the town surrounded by bush-clad hills is a beautiful place.
