We went on a tour of Lyttelton’s is dry dock recently. It was fascinating for many reasons (read more on the blog). Much of the dry dock dates to the 19th century, survived the 21st century earthquake and is still in use.⁠ #New Zealand Diary⁠ #Lyttelton #Christchurch #Canterbury #NewZealand #Aotearoa⁠ #illustratorsofinstagram #illustratorsoninstagram #cartoon⁠ #cartoonistsofinstagram
