Itinerary

1. The Octagon
Starting the tour here, learn about the amazing buildings that survive in the center of town. It survives by good luck rather than good planning.
2. Dunedin Railway Station
The Dunedin Railway Station is the second most photographed building in the southern hemisphere, second to the Sydney Opera House. We go inside the foyer of the station with its Royal Doulton tiled walls and mosaic floor made with approximately half a million pieces. She's currently under works so covered with scaffolding, however they've kindly printed a picture of the building on the outside!
Duration: 10 mins
3. Toitu Otago Settlers Museum
Passing Toitu we see Josephine, the first locomotive in Otago and hear its story - how it came here, how it was nearly lost to history and how it survived.
Duration: 10 mins
4. Queens Garden
At Queens Gardens the tale is told of the first Scottish settlers, how they were welcomed by the Kai Tahu Maori, how they dealt with rain and mud, and why it was all worthwhile.
Duration: 10 mins
5. Princes Street
In the Exchange area we see the winged monkeys of the Cargill memorial and other fanciful shapes carved in stone.
Duration: 20 mins
6. Broadway Medical Centre Dunedin Ltd
Now Broadway has a medical centre but it was once the site of a large shopping centre where Mr and Mrs Loft had a shoe shop and a scandalous and tragic ending.
Duration: 10 mins
7. Speight’s Brewery
Ending the tour here, we can see more interesting buildings surrounding the area and you're welcome to stay at Speights and enjoy a drink in the restaurant and gift shop or we can continue our loop back to the Octagon where we started.
Duration: 10 mins
8. The Crown Hotel
Dunedin's oldest pub
