Town entry

The way into Oamaru from the South. The trees on the left are all oaks and called Memorial Oaks. Each one is dedicated to a soldier who didn't come back in the 1st World War - all soldiers from our area.

Good thing.... no frost this morning but maximum temp was only 9degC.
What a wonderful and wide road with the avenue of trees to the side - You can see this for miles !

@joansmor @Dawn When you read the stones - most of them were only 19 years old!

Beautiful scenery especially with those nice oaks. What a thoughtful gesture. It sounds and looks like a brisk morning.

A touching tribute for these soldiers. The endless leading line is great and I love the suspended gardens along the road.

@corinnec That's a terraced garden that has recently been renewed with our Oamaru Stone, Corrinne.

A very picturesque road in…..what a lovely idea re the oaks! The wall on the right looks interesting too.

@happypat Yes, that's something Oamaru can be proud of, Pat. The terrace has been there for yonks and was grey and crumbling. They rebuilt it within the last year and replanted. New Oamaru stone.
