Boasting a rich history of Māori culture and Victorian influence, we discuss the heritage that has led this town to be as unique and quirky as it is today. From the town's glory days of exporting various goods, to the economic collapse and abandonment, Ōamaru has seen it all. Now, Ōamaru has established itself as a tourism destination in its own rite, with the rare Otago Shag and its own Blue Penguin colony as well as the prestigious limestone buildings from the 1800s that stand strong and as beautiful as ever today! Did you know that Ōamaru is also the Steampunk capital of the world? All of that and more in this video!

Love a good day-trip to Oamaru! Always used to stop on the way home from Christchurch for my daughter to have a run around the park and have a coffee - such a beautiful spot, and glad you both discovered it! 🤗❤

[@charlesjordan4336]

You seemed to have missed the part about Oamaru’s huge whaling and sealing history…
