PHANTOM comics (Lee Falk, Ray Moore, Wilson McCoy, Sy Barry) - and... DUNEDIN
A hike in mid-autumn this year, around Aramoana and Heyward Point, along the beach and into the hills to the cliffs.
Walking to the beach at Aramoana.
Large rock formations and the Peninsula beyond.
Heading up into the hills above the settlement. Nice and steep.
High in the hills, overlooking the ocean.
My view from the top of the cliffs, down along the beach to the Spit, and across the inlet to Taiaroa Head and the Peninsula.
One of the buildings decorated with murals at the lovely little Balmacewen Intermediate School.
One of the many colourful wall panels. I'm betting this one depicts a tui.
Many a miscreant woman has found herself suffering from unrequited love for The Phantom...
Combined with male vanity, it usually means the chief villain cannot keep the Ghost Who Walks locked up for very long.

When I was a young kid, my Nana always used to have Maltexo in the cupboard for a treat, and didn't we grandkids just love it! You can still see it on the supermarket shelves today.
The reason Dunedin people are so fit.
Just an average Dunedin street, on the banks of a green hill...
