Tussock and Sky

Golden tussock and blue sky demonstrate well the colours of Otago. This photo was taken from the Pigroot road on the way back from Queenstown in 2002. Central Otago is the hottest area in New Zealand during the summer - temperatures in the high 20s and low 30s (celsius) are common - so the land tends to be hot and dry.
