Invercargill "The Southern Most City Of NZ"

Invercargill the Southern
City of New Zealand has a lot going for it, the City Boasts some of the best Sporting Facilities in New Zealand such as the International Indoor Cycling Velodrome, International Hockey Fields, Teretonga Motor Racing Track , World class multi purpose stadium which even has a Rock Climbing Wall, Southland Stags Rugby Grounds and the list just keeps going on, if you can think of a sport then it is most probably supported here and has the facilities to back it up.

Queens Park located in the centre of the City is beautiful and must be seen if your in town, it even has it's own golf course and Museum which is home to one of the most prehistoric lizards on earth the "Tuatara" which is bred here.

The last movie to be made in Invercargill was the "Worlds Fastest Indian" starring Sir Anthony Hopkins, if you havent seen it do, as it has some good scene's from around Invercargill and the beaches.

There are some great places to eat out here like Waxie O'Shea's Irish bar where the guiness flows just nicely or for something finer i suggest the Cabbage Tree simply amazing food.
There is everything to suit your taste here when it comes to food.

Invercargill is the place to put your feet up and rest awhile after a hectic travel schedule, it is only 2 hours from Queenstown, 2 Hours from Dunedin, 2 Hours from Te Anau and has the Catlins Coastline not far from it, virtually the centre of it all, plus you will find some incredible shopping here to top it all off.

During the summer months you will be lucky to see sunset before 10.30pm with it rising nice and early as well, perfect for a full days adventure.

If you miss a visit to Invercargill you will be missing something special, especially in the summer months which is the best time to visit, winter can be bitter, but with snow fields not far away definately worth a look.
