The rural service town of Gore has a special attraction for country music fans and trout fishermen.
Every year in early June, Gore hosts the New Zealand Gold Guitar Awards, which incorporates the New Zealand Line Dancing Championships {Oh dear}.
The Romney Sheep - originally from England {yep, Romney Marshes in Kent} is an economically important "long-wool" breed in New Zealand.
But you couldn't see this fella when the snow was on the ground!
If you like to flick a fly rod, spring and early summer are the best times to catch a brown trout. In addition to the Mataura River, there are many productive streams close by.
The Hokonui Moonshine Museum will tell you all about the area’s history of illicit whisky distilling. West of Gore is Mandeville, where you can go flying in a restored Tiger Moth (no I didn't - there wasn't enough time).
