Hmmm...

I have the feeling we are not the first Kirkpatricks in these parts. Otago is full of Scots that have immigrated to New Zealand over the last couple of hundred years. We haven't met any other Kirkpatricks, but the lake makes us curious...We wonder after whom the lake was named? If we figure it out, we'll let you know. Anyone out there know the answer?



The lake is just up the road from our new home. We were out exploring the area on 24 November and took a few pictures of the Lake Kirkpatrick sign. These photos were on our small camera and luckily not uploaded. I found the little camera in the backpack, forgotten during the move. We salvaged a few more pictures despite the crashed hard drive. Yeah!
