The North Otago town of Oamaru is proud of its Victorian heritage, especially its collection of well-preserved buildings.
If you're in the town during the Oamaru Victorian Heritage Celebrations, from November 17 to 21, expect to see penny-farthings in the streets, gentlemen in top hats and ladies in long skirts with bustles.
Events include a grand opening, penny farthing races, a Swaggers and Servants dance, a Victorian fashion promenade, a garden party, croquet on the lawn, and a formal Victorian Heritage Ball. The extensive list of events is online.
