A Southlander's Bucket List - New Zealand

Posted 16th May 2016 to the Southland Times Newspaper Invercargill NZ


I see your writer Dave Nicoll wrote a piece on the Best Tourist Spots in the Southland Region last week
But there is also a Southland Bucket list of Interesting Places that any keen Southlander should have.
Here is my modest attempt.. The Southland Museum, The Richardson Transport Museum, Isas Sea Cave (Catlins) Golden Bay Stewart Island,
The Mavora Lakes, the Riverton Museum, Cosy Nook, Lake Hauroko, The Rowellan Totara, Giger’s Rock Garden on Mt Titiroa
Climb the Monument (Manapouri Hill) Cross the Percy Pass (missing link to Doubtful Sound) Visit the Lowest Point in the Manapouri Power Station.
Fly into Campbell’s Kingdom (Doubtful Sound) See the Twin Falls of the Aurora Cave System, Visit Glade House, Cross the McKinnon Pass,  See lake Alabaster
Land on Mt Tutoko’s Ice Field and Pack Ice lake (summer), Visit Gunn’s Camp, See Lake Marion, walk through the Homer Tunnel, Stand on the Key Summit, I could go on but I will run out of space.
But it would be good to leave some for others and some to be secrets..  like Dusky Sound & Preservation Inlet.
