When I was a kid I used to thumb through Faller Model Railway catalogues and marvel at the dioramas.
Fashioned from plaster and styrene - to an Aussie kid they just seemed so 'improbable'.

And yet the away from the bridge is a complete contrast:

A spot well worth stopping for.

Yep, you have an eye Dave.

Pity about the bland lighting.

Time for a coffee trip up there - it's only about 150-160 kms from Christchurch. A nice trip too.

Hanmer Springs is great for a long weekend with the family - hire a holiday house (cheaper than a motel!) and chill out.
