The area is home
to more golf courses than anywhere else per head of
population in New Zealand. In season, rivers and streams
abound with rainbow trout, ideal for any angler. Numerous
expert hunting and fishing guides are available. For
the adrenaline junkies and thrill seekers, white water
rafting at Rangatata and the adventure sports of Queenstown
are available in this area, ski fields are just an hour's
drive away. Peel Forest is great for hiking, and for
the less adventurous, garden walks are available. Visitor
Information Centers in Timaru, Geraldine and Temuka
will give further information. See Activities for further
