Timaru  is a port city  in the southern Canterbury  region of New Zealand, located 157 kilometres southwest of Christchurch. The city is the seat of the Timaru District , which includes the surrounding rural area and the towns of Geraldine, Pleasant Point and Temuka,. Caroline Bay beach is a popular recreational area located close to Timaru's city centre, just to the north of the substantial port facilities. Timaru has been built on rolling hills created from the lava flows of the extinct Mt Horrible volcano, which last erupted many thousands of years ago. The result is that most of the main streets are undulating, a clear contrast with the flat landscape of the Canterbury Plains to the north. This volcanic rock is used for the construction of local "bluestone" buildings.
