Oamaru Lookout Point — Attraction in South Island

Oamaru is a great place to visit in Central South Island Of New Zealand. With around a population 14000 it has a feeling of being vast. With proud historical community, stunning old architecture and nice cafe's, restaurants, shops & tourist attractions like the Penguins and Fur Seals just for a start is worth the visit alone.
