i took the scenic drive to invercargill, i had to go all the way frmo milford sound so was about a 6 hour drive, i passed through mountains and by lakes then through rolling hills covered in sheep, cows and deer. i arrived in invercargil in the evening and went for a little walk around the Queens gardens. 
the next day i went to bluff a littl...

We left Dunedin and headed toward Te Anau and turned a 190 mile trip into three days. Decided to take the Southern Scenic Route. Found accommodations in the VERY small town of Papatowai in a motel behind a gas/grocery market. Turned out to be a beautiful one bedroom apartment with full kitchen and bath for the grand sum of $50.00 a night!! Spent...

Took it easy to Invercargill, famous for the guy that raced motorbikes at the age of 78. A part of the museum is dedicated to him. The museum is cool and haphazard. We loved it. Didnīt stay too long as we headed to the Catlins for 2 days. Caves, Sea lions, weird whirry things, the best free campsite ever and a lost german. We had fun. We had to ...

We took a plane from Auckland to Christchurch then to Dunedin. It was one of the shortest flights that we have been on so it felt nice. Once into Dunedin we took a bus for three or so hours to get to Invercargill. The family who we are staying with came to pick us up. It was a little awkward for all of us at the beginning especially the kids. We...

after our run-in with the lambs, we continued on towards Waipapa Point, one of the last main points in The Catlins and known for its lighthouse. the guys went down to the beach first and i watched them disappear behind the cliffs as i took my time taking pictures of the lighthouse and the dunes. i meandered down the path and down onto the sand w...

<By Emma > Nous avons quitte Dunedin pour un road trip a travers les Catlins, au sud de la Nouvelle-Zelande. Avant de partir de Dunedin, nous nous sommes separes de notre cubi de vin vraiment pas bon (une partie a fini en boeuf bourguignon) au profit d'un... couple de hollandais (quand c'est gratos les hollandais...). Bon, ils nous ont off...

The bus that was meant to pick us up from the hostel in Te Anau had a flat tyre so they sent a minibus to pick us up instead. We left about 30 minutes late which did not go down well as we had been told to be ready for 7.10am. About 20 minutes into the journey, the driver realised that the minibus wouldn't be big enough to collect everyone and w...

What a challenge getting to Invercargill. I'm yet at another Scottish themed city at the south of the south island. Things went a bit strange, not only did i see some amazing scenery that just reminded me of Scotland, but we had the weather to match it. Constant rain for about 250km's. If things were not bad enough, i followed a road to a nice b...

After the Catlins, I drove to Invercargill where we finally made it to our hostel. But not before almost killing us in a roundabout...hey, it was going the wrong way! I was shocked at how dead this town was. Where were all the people? The streets were eeirily empty so I chalked it up to being a holiday weekend. Everything was closed and there wa...
