Going by the look of the 4 of them inspecting the map, their destination was......?

Could what Vin Diesel be talking about here, have something to do with it?

Does the name Riddoch ring a bell here?

Helicopters were still at it.....

Aotearoa mural at Port Nelson

One of Nelson's landmarks is this mural painted by Christopher Finlayson back in the mid 1980's.
To this day its probably one of the most photographed spots in town, and as you can see from the photo she's just had a new paint job.

Nelsons only Railway Line

At Founders Park ~ there's talk of extending this line towards the centre of town ~ something I can only hope does indeed happen!

....of the southern end of the Railway line that Nelson used to have. This photo depicts the old station at Glenhope.
