Invercargill and the Catlins


Invercargill is a city right at the bottom of New Zealand and there is really nothing much there but I had an afternoon to kill so I walked around the botanic gardens. The main reason for coming to Invercargill is the proximity to the coastal town of Bluff which is the south island's most southern town and also has a ferry to Stewart Island. After a night in Invercargill we drove along the coast to Dunedin passing through the remote Catlins. On the drive we saw the rare Hector's dolphins in the bay. These dolphins are small and unique to the New Zealand coast line. There was also a huge sea lion just lounging on the beach.
