Omarama - Christchurch
From Omarama travel through the township of Twizel, pass the large Hydro Dam, and skirt the shores of Lake Pukaki before reaching Lake Tekapo. View the Church of the Good Shepherd and Collie Dog memorial with time for a highly recommended (optional) flight with Air Safaris. Descend Burkes Pass to the Canterbury Plains and en-route visit the Airforce Museum of New Zealand. The airfield situated at Wigram was originally the home of the Canterbury Aviation Company, a private flying school founded by Sir Henry Wigram in 1916. As New Zealand had no air force at that time, the company trained pilots for service with British air forces during World War I. In 1923 the New Zealand Government purchased the land and assets of the company as the base for it's newly formed air force, and renamed it "Wigram" in honour of it's founder. The name was again changed to the Airforce Museum of New Zealand in 2008.
