Southland
Southland is one of New Zealand’s largest regions. Southland is New Zealand's southernmost region and includes New Zealand's third island, Stewart Island.
Southland's largest urban centre is Invercargill, a city of 49,000 people. Visitors come to admire the elegant Victorian and Edwardian buildings, gardens and landscaped parks. As in Dunedin to the north, Invercargill was originally settled by people from Scotland.
Invercargill is built around beautiful Queens Park—80 hectares of gardens, wildlife and sporting fun. As well as an 18-hole golf course, the park has animal enclosures, a bird aviary, play areas and the Southland Museum.
If you love golf, fishing, trekking and beautiful countryside then the Southland is the place for you.
