Travelling south of Christchurch to say Lake Tekapo, Queenstown and Mount Cook, the very best priced souvenirs and genuine Kiwi woollen products, famous Merino sheep wool - visit the iconic "Tin Shed" Rangitata - 2 hours south of Christchurch just off State Highway 1 - on the road to Geraldine.
Look out for the flags on the right - ask for Rose she'll look after you.
Located on a working sheep and grain farm -
Dolly the Dorper spent her early days as a family pet and has a lovely gentle nature and friendly personality. She loves to come up to the fence for a pat or a scratch on the nose.
Dorper sheep were bred and developed in South Africa to grow quickly and tolerate arid conditions. Dorpers have only a very short light coat of wool that sheds itself in late spring and summer and so require no shearing. Any remaining tufts of wool can be pulled off by hand.
Enjoy. Clean toilets here too.
