Kura Tawhiti Conservation Area - a photo on Flickriver

            Castle Hill is a location and a high country station in the South Island of New Zealand.
 The grand limestone rock battlements of Kura Tawhiti led early European travellers to name the area Castle Hill.

 The station was established by the Porter brothers and in 2002 was named a "Spiritual Centre of the Universe" by the Dalai Lama.

 Castle Hill limestone was used in the making of the front of Christ Church Cathedral in Christchurch.

 Climbers, families, students, scientists and travellers have always been drawn to this spectacular place, to explore its natural, cultural, historic and recreation values.

 Bounded by the high mountains of the Torlesse Range to the east and the Craigieburn Range to the west, the limestone tors of Kura Tawhiti Conservation Area dominate the Waimakariri Basin, Canterbury, NZ
