New Zealand: Concerning Hobbits

After brekkie we headed south. We drove straight past Auckland without visiting, but what a beautiful city.
The afternoon was spent at Hobbiton, but we can't post any pics as we had to sign confidentiality agreements since the sets are all done up for the new Hobbit movie. It was fantastic! The sheep shearing was pretty good too. 13000 sheep on the farm, and about 40,000,000 in NZ. Though we reckon so far we'd see more sheep back in Victoria. Oh and the lamb burger was really tasty too at the Shire's Rest.
Back into town we grabbed some really tasty roast meat from Matamata Roast Takeaway for dinner.  Best takeaway!  Pork Roast roll was to die for.
Update!: Well, since The Hobbit has now been released, I'm allowed to show my Hobbiton pics.







Check out some more Hobbiton photos here.
