I find the last day of a holiday is wistful.  We went back to the Victorian precinct this morning and it was open but hardly bustling.  I do hope the business owners are making a living because it is a unique experience.  We loved the second hand book shops and the man at Slightly Foxed books wrapped the three books we bought in brown paper and tied them with string and wrote the titles in his ledger.  As with all our stops there is scope to go back and explore further.  
We then drove north to Christchurch.  We passed through Mario country and saw the big church and Caroline Bay that I have seen in his blips. 
I will catch up with you one day  :-)
