Our visit to see the tuataras at the Southland Museum was more than we expected! Lindsay, the tuatara curator, got one of the tuataras out and let us all touch it. We had to be careful to keep our hands away from it's head! Lindsay held it on his hand for a while, while he talked about tuataras and answered our great questions. We were surprised to find out that there were 90 tuataras at present in the Southland Museum.
Our final stop for camp was at Queens Gardens where we ate 'chip butties' in the band rotunda before heading for home. It was a lovely relaxing way to finish camp. Some of us even had quick explore of Queens Park before getting in our cars for the trip back to Lawrence.
Thank you so much to all of the parents who gave up two days to transport us to and from camp, as well as around Invercargill. Mrs O and Mrs May have made a note for next time to make sure we have plenty of maps and street directions for all of the drivers - so no-one gets lost!
