NZ sea lionThe drive to the Catlins was long & uneventful, Mount Cook was obscured by low lying cloud so didn’t detour there. Saw several fur seals lazing about on the rocks from Nugget point lighthouse and 2 yellow eyed penguins at Roaring Bay.

On the drive home had the luck to see a sealion came up on the sandy roadside from an adjoining beach, and then decide to charge the assembled photographers from the 3 cars that had stopped to see it, sending them scrambling for safety!
