New Zealand: The deep South





In the deep south there are not that many cultural highlights, but the natural ones make up for that. In this sparsely populated area you can find beautiful beaches, meadows overflowing with flowers and truely awesome waterfalls.





Bluff is the southernmost city on the south Island



Further to the south, on Stewart Island, lies the town of Oban, population 390. This was the southernmost point of my travel and with nearly 47° S probably the southernmost point I will ever reach.









The best thing to do in the south is to encounter the wildlife. Never before did I come that close to Keas, seals and penguins. (Well, apart from the zoo, obviously)
