A visit to Walter Peak Farm, 26 December 1998. We cruised over on the TSS Earnslaw, had a fabulous buffet meal, then were treated to a tour of the farm.
Here's an aerial view, taken during our big day of flying (see the Fiordlands photos for more):

Dinner was a feast!! The buffet was incredible. Kate and Colleen especially liked the dessert table.
After dinner, we walked around and met some of the animals ... and sat on some and picked a few up as well!
Two dogs showed how they run the sheep around the mountain. They accomplished a lot just by staring in a most threatening way -- this is a technique I could on the train here in Tokyo!
Merino sheep ... baaa-a-a-a-a!
