Southern Scenic Route (part 2)


We travelled the rest of the Southern Scenic Route today, going from Invercargill to Dunedin. This included some driving on our first unpaved (i.e. gravel) main roads which was a bit of an eye-opener. We went to Curio Bay to see the petrified forest, then to the Whistling Frog Cafe for coffee and lunch. Next we stopped at the Purakaunui Falls, then Nugget Point where, in a howling gale, we saw some New Zealand Sea Lions.

Tomorrow we're off to see some Royal Albatross, then we're off for a ride on the Taieri Gorge Railway.
