PHANTOM comics (Lee Falk, Ray Moore, Wilson McCoy, Sy Barry) - and... DUNEDIN
Brighton on the 1st of January, 2010.
Exploring.
I was lucky enough to quietly watch a white-faced heron wading through the pools.
Variety and beauty whichever way you look.
Miles and miles of amazing golden sand, and I could make out about half-a-dozen people. For a Dunedin beach I think this constitutes overcrowding.
Lots of rocks to clamber over.
An oystercatcher up high who didn't mind me stopping carefully to watch.
I'm pretty strong, but after reading about what The Phantom does for a casual workout while he's on holiday, I had to go and have a lie down.

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.
