Wednesday morning brought another sunny day and Tom had planned a busy day for everyone. In the morning we headed into Nelson to do a short hike up a small hill behind Nelson. There is a monument on top and it is affectionately known as "The Centre of New Zealand". From the top there are great views over Nelson city, the Port and Boulder Bank - a 13 kilometre bank of rocks. It is composed of pebbles and boulders up to 1.2 metres in diameter that have originated from Mackay Bluff at the northern end. During northerly storms the boulders are moved south-west along the bank.
