Driving next to Robinsons Bay on the Banks Peninsula, in the Canterbury region on the East Coast of New Zealand's South Island.

Banks Peninsula is a mass of volcanic hills, covering an area of 1,165 sq km, that sticks out from the Canterbury coast between Pegasus Bay and the Canterbury Bight. The highest point, Mt Herbert (Te Ahu Patiki) is 920 m, and overlooks Lyttelton Harbour. It is less than half the height of the volcanoes before they became extinct.
