This
full day tour departs Christchurch in the morning, and travels through
the rich pastoral farmland of the Canterbury Plains before heading
inland to the small farming township of Geraldine for a morning
tea break. Leaving Geraldine and its rolling green valleys, the

famous Church of the Good Shepherd standing in picturesque solitude
on the foreshores of the lake.
