#UTPCruise - Day 6 we were tendered in Akaroa, New Zealand where I spent the day with penguins and sheep. Paul Blake gave the feature talk that evening:

Day 7 was Dunedin, New Zealand, where we visited Botanical Gardens, a magnificent historic house, and a wonderful museum with a Sir Edmund Hillary display and artifacts. In the evening, Janet Russell presented “Women under the Common Law”.
Day 8 we travelled through three breathtaking fiords of New Zealand: Dusky Sound, Doubtful Sound and Milford Sound, followed by Jan Gow’s talk.

That evening, we had a rather exciting panel about “Future Proofing Your Genealogy”. Interesting and very different opinions on this. My ideas seem to be a bit different from everyone else’s and I’ll have to present them in a future blog post.
