Wedderburn is 13.5 km from Ranfury and a superb little town. It is also only a few km from the highest point in the track which means down hill all the rest of the way from here!
We crossed the 45th Parallel twice. This is the midpoint between the equator and the south pole. We also visited the Gilchrist's Store, built in 1899, is the oldest continuously operating general store. Had lunch at Ida's Kitchen at Oturehua, exceptionally good food and service.
Taradale Homestead, Auripo for some of our group but we stayed at the Lauderburn Cottage at Lauder. The town needed a doctor, he requested a house so the town built him one in 1923. Superb place to stay.
