After leaving Stanleys Hotel at Macraes we headed out of the village in the direction of Middlemarch, the next leg of our homeward journey. The weather had worsened and it was steady light rain. Nigel leaned out of the car to get these photos for me as I was entranced by the old cart parked in the shed. Photos taken Sat 29 May 2021. Waitaki district, New Zealand.

Notice the old stone fence posts. Not uncommon in this region.
More stone fence posts in this next shot.
The overall scene as we headed out of Macraes.
Another rustic scene, a shed that looks like it may have been a cob cottage – it has cob wall remnants, with an old spreading tree nearby.

It looks like a nice, rainy autumn day, Liz. A perfect day to spend napping in the car while hubby drives (that’s what I would do 😊).

It was nice! possibly a better day for taking photos in this rugged type of country than a fine day would’ve been. (The rugged stuff begins in my next post).

There must be a good supply of stone in the area. The fence posts are cool and I was drawn to the foundation on the left end of the shed…better put together than the shed itself.

This area borders Central Otago which has loads of schist. My next post will show how rocky the landscape is in this district which is so near to ‘Central’.
