Introducing Alexandra
Unless you’ve come to Alexandra especially for September’s NZ Merino Shearing Championships or the Easter Bunny Hunt (both events that draw hundreds to the town), the reason to visit this rather nondescript service hub is for the nearby mountain biking. Some travellers, entranced by well-shorn sheep and rabbit-free slopes, stay for seasonal fruit-picking work.

There’s an informative Alexandra i-SITE (03-448 9515; www.tco.org.nz; 22 Centennial Ave; 9am-6pm; ), which has pamphlets, maps and internet access. Alexandra’s a fairly large, spread-out town so grab a copy of the free map.
