Driving along Dee Street in Invercargill, in the Southland Region of New Zealand's South Island.

Invercargill, or Waihopai, is Southland's regional capital and commercial hub. The city began in the 1850s and is New Zealand’s southernmost city and one of the southernmost cities in the world. An abundance of heritage buildings gives the city a charming old-world quality. At the same time, the beautiful Queens Park impresses with its sprawling 80 hectares of beautifully maintained gardens, wildlife habitats, playgrounds and sports areas.

Invercargill is called the "City of Water and Light", because of the long summer daylight hours, frequent appearances of the Aurora Australis (Southern Lights), and the city’s position beside the Waihopai River estuary. Invercargill has plenty of character and a friendly, laid-back atmosphere - except when celebrating Southland’s obsession with classic motoring!

It started with local legend Burt Munro setting a land speed record in 1967 on his Indian Scout Motorbike. Now recognised as New Zealand’s “Classic Motoring Capital”, the city boasts an impressive vintage truck collection, a world-class motorcycle display and more!.

Wide streets in a grid layout make it easy to find your way around Invercargill to enjoy the many great cultural attractions, outstanding nature reserves and parks, and lively cafes, restaurants and bars.
