ROSABELLE Linda Harrington
PICTURES: Farm Scenes from the Manawatu Region, New Zealand
These Manawatu photos show typical New Zealand farm scenes.
The Manawatu (pronounced: Man-a-wa-too), where the town of Woodville, the setting for Rosabelle, is located. has very pituresque farmland. There are many sheep farms in the area and old wooden farm houses. These pictures show what the peaceful region looks like.
Roses grow well in the region - all the ladies in Rosabelle are very fond of gardens. See beautiful pictures of blooming roses below.
And if you didn't know what a cherry tree looks like - here's one in all its glory!
Also, spot the villa - like the Giovannis' house in Rosabelle.
