★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Just few minutes walk from the most popular attractions in Tekapo, i.e. church of the Good Shepherd, it's good to stop by. Although this memorial statue may not be as attractive, over this side will have less tourist and you can still get gorgeous photos of Lake Tekapo with the Southern Alps. There's a picnic table here where you can stop for snacks, but please bring the rubbish with you.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I love the fact that this statue is here only to show the great fulness of people towards dog. A very simple but just 50 meters away from the Shepherd Church.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Close to the Church of the Good Shepherd is a bronze sheepdog statue, a tribute to the hardy dogs of the Mackenzie without the help of which the grazing of this mountain country would be impossible.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An interesting monument to see at Lake Tekapo is the Sheep Dog Monument near the historic Church of the Good Shepard on Pioneer Drive. You can find the monument around 50 metres past the church and large parking lot.
Here you find a bronze figure of a Collie standing upon a large rock pile. The monument was unveiled in March 1968 and aims to show appreciation for this breed of dog which has been instrumental in maintaining the herds of sheep which grazed the mountain country of Mackenzie County.
It is a nice minor attraction worth a few minutes of your time before/after seeing the Church of the Good Shepard.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A bronze memorial to working collie dogs was commissioned in 1968 by local farmers and now stands on the shores of Lake Tekapo near the Church of the Good Shepherd.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Just over from the church of the Good Shepherd is the Sheepdog Memorial.
The successful farming of the high country would not have been possible without man’s best friend, a fitting tribute to our four legged counter parts.
Would recommend popping over to have a look at the monument if the church is too busy to grab a good photo.
