Aramoana is a small beach town about 20km north of Dunedin, at the end of a scenic coastal road. The town is infamous for being the location of New Zealand's worst massacre where 13 people were shot dead in November 1990. As such I've always been a bit apprehensive about visiting.
The town is part of a popular training route for cyclists so I decided it was time to pay it a visit. I don't carry a proper camera when riding so here are a couple of cellphone snaps. It was hard to imagine such a sleepy community being the scene of such a tragic event. http://www.multi.net.nz/aramoana/ If you want to know more about the town, Wikipedia should do the trick. For the record I had a crazy head wind on the way out. I returned via the hill road from Port Chalmers - it was further than I'd expected to go (about 67km in total) but well worth the effort.
