Re: spinners
If you drive from Dunedin, New Zealand across the Taieri plains and up and over the rock and pillar range as you descend towards Middlemarch in the Strathtaieri plain there is a large spherical looking boulder on the right of the road. Except it has been hollowed out by the prevailing wind and is dish shaped inside. Just one of the quite impressive rock outcrops which gives the range its name.
I understand that these days they run cross country skiing trips on the tops which are fairly flat to rolling with gullies.
There are mountain wetas up there (giant flightless crickets) which freeze solid in the winter then thaw out and wake up again quite happily.
