Oamaru

Land of hopes and dreams
Land of old people, small children and about 3 suicidal 20 year-olds
Land of Steampunk and steam trains
Land ongoing fear (the lowest the fire danger sign ever goes is 'moderate', making the townsfolk believe that everyday there is a reasonable chance of combusting. This constant fear allows the city council to maintain an authoritarian rule on the people)
Land of casual racism

Land of bogans yelling strange things from cars (at my sister: "Just because you are skinny doesn't mean you have to run in town")
Land of penguins, seals, sheep and penguins
Land of ceramic whisky bottles in the shapes of eagles, crows and books
Land of wishing it was 100 years ago
