New Zealand is an Antipodean land which attracts lovers of vast spaces and wild nature. Though it is mostly mountainous, the country has a diverse range of landscapes and environments: icy summits, plains with mirror-like lakes, wild coastline licked by the Pacific waters... The nature here is absolutely majestic. And fortunately ecology takes pride of place here.

An economic center at southern point of South Island, Invercargill is not an attractive town but more of a useful 'refuelling' spot, if you're traveling around the region.

During my tour of South Island, I planned to spend half a day at Invercargill and I admit it was too long. Lots of the shops were closed and those that were open had nothing of interest. I stopped at the local brasserie, which had just set up in new premeses. I saw some interesting buildings in the center of Invercargill such as Water Tower and St. Mary's Basilica, but I didn't want to hang around. <a href="/new-zealand/">So I headed to Bluff</a>, where I discovered a beautiful walk along the coast to Stirling Point, at the southern tip of South Island. For me, Invercargill is a place to stock up on supplies, take a tour of the museum and then move on.
