New Zealand's southernmost region is a patchwork of lush pastoral lands, pristine rainforest ideal for walks and tranquil waterways that attract fly-fishing enthusiasts. The petrified forest of Curio Bay on Catlins Coast is one of the world’s geological wonders. The urban centre of Invercargill has elegant Victorian and Edwardian buildings, gardens and landscaped parks. The southern fishing port of Bluff is home to the famous Bluff oyster. From Bluff, a ferry runs to Stewart Island, a haven for native bird life such as kiwis and penguins.
