6. Greymouth/Dunedin scenic railway

Greymouth
From Greymouth we went on a scenic train ride to Dunedin. It was quite a memorable journey. We saw mountain sides covered with nice yellow flowers (Gorse). In later years we discovered that Gorse was an agressive noxious weed which was introduced into NZ by early settlers from Scotland. Kiwis have been trying to get rid of this weed ever since, without much success.
