2025 Hanmer Springs Christmas Parade

Just before opening we were invited to the Hanmer Springs Christmas Parade and we had a blast!

All the local businesses turned out in support of Santa. Our favorite was from Manuka Skies, the local start gazing company run by Kara and Brent (who are really enthusiastic about our view of the heavens!). They had a 15ft inflatable spaceman with planets in-tow which made us very jealous.

We also loved seeing all the other efforts as the parade toured our wee town. Our little shuffle craft carried Rebecca and I along with our alien Rodger poking out the window to say hi to all the passers by!
