For Leah in Perth and any other blog readers coming to Ashburton or wanting to know more about it, here are our tips:
1. Climb to the top of Pudding Hill to get a good view of the plains (the year 5s did this at camp).
2. Have a picnic in the Ashburton Domain.
3. Swim in the Ashburton Pool.
4. Visit Lake Hood. Swim there or walk around it, and go to the Lake House (Bar & Restaurant). You can even take the mountain bike track there from Ashburton.
5. Alex recommends the Thai Restaurant.
6. Drive to Lake Heron to see the mountains and beautiful nature, and the old building at Hakatere.
7. Drive past the Ashburton Lakes (Lake Camp and Clearwater) to Mt Sunday which was Edoras in Lord of the Rings.
8. Visit Ashburton Borough School because we are an EnviroSchool. You can see how we respect nature and see our nice gardens.
9. Jadah recommends visiting 'Sparrows' shop to get clothes made in New Zealand (Her dad runs it!)
10. Visit the museum and art gallery.
