November
Another NZ summer threatens as days get longer following the introduction of day-
light saving. Now's a good time to be doing the Milford or Routeburn Tracks, but
you'll need to book ahead.
Oamaru Victorian Heritage Celebrations
Ahhh, the good old days: when Queen Vic sat dourly on the throne, the hems were low,
collars were high, and civic decency was a matter of course. Old Oamaru thoroughly en-
joys this tongue-in-cheek historic homage (

)
with dress-ups,
penny-farthing races, choirs, guided tours etc.
NZ Cup & Show Week
Christchurch's annual NZ Cup & Show Week (
www.nzcupandshow.co.nz
) is an iconic
Canterbury event, and it's a great opportunity for the good people of Christchurch to celeb-
rate with fashion shows, horse racing and the country-comes-to-town appeal of the A&P
(agricultural and pastoral) Show.
