Introduction
The Otago Peninsula reaches east from Dunedin into the Pacific and is a treasury of New Zealand wildlife. Yellow-eyed penguins return to the dunes, albatross nest on the cliffs, seals laze on the sand; coastal roads and sheep farms weave together — a secret spot for both animals and seascape. Lighthouses and sea arches dot the coast; at dusk penguins parade ashore — the golden hour for wildlife photography.
