Learn about how the film industry took up residence in the suburb of Miramar and how the peninsula is at the forefront of conservation efforts to restore native bird species in this city, before stopping for another photo opportunity on the South Coast with stunning views of the entrance to the harbour, Cape Palliser, and the South Island [when the weather allows!].
