About Invercargill

Invercargill is the southernmost and westernmost city in New Zealand, and one of the southernmost cities in the world. It is the commercial centre of the Southland region. The city lies in the heart of the wide expanse of the Southland Plains to the east of the Ōreti or New River some 18 km north of Bluff, which is the southernmost town in the South Island. It sits amid rich farmland that is bordered by large areas of conservation land and marine reserves, including Fiordland National Park covering the south-west corner of the South Island and the Catlins coastal region.

There were three feces incidents in a week in an Invercargill Splash Palace Pool, so they think it was deliberate.

Other times Invercargill came up

  1. I think so. The first ones were in the various different cities, and it was usually to get from the port to the city. In Invercargill, there was loads of swamps you had to get past, so they put a railway line there. In Dunedin, you had to go over some difficult land to get there. In Christchurch, you had to go over some hills, and so they all put these different railways in but they all use different gauges.
