Lyttelton is a port town located on the eastern coast of New Zealand's South Island, near Christchurch. It is situated on the northern side of Lyttelton Harbour, which is part of the larger Banks Peninsula. Lyttelton is known for its stunning natural scenery, maritime history, and vibrant community.
Lyttelton was one of the first settlements in the Canterbury region and played a significant role in the colonization of New Zealand. It served as the main port for Christchurch and the surrounding areas.
Lyttelton was significantly affected by the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, which caused extensive damage to buildings and infrastructure. The town has since undergone substantial rebuilding and revitalization efforts.
Here are some photos of Christchurch from a bus ride from the port Lyttelton and then from the central bus station taking #1 bus to Cashmer.
