Slope Point - the southernmost point of New Zealand.

in Worldmappin3 months ago

Our second stop of our Catlins adventures while we were exploring the wonderful Catlins on the south island of New Zealand.
The Catlins is such a beautiful stretch of the coast line in southern New Zealand between Balclutha and Invercargill. One side you have stunning beaches and coastline and on the other is dense rainforest with breath taking waterfalls.

So let's continue with our adventure and share with you some photos from Slope Point the southernmost point of New Zealand.

From the carpark it is a 20min return walk to the edge of New Zealand.

You walk between two private properties which they have made a walkway towards the ocean.

And what is a walk through green grass in New Zealand with our seeing a sheep or two.

New Zealand is famous for its sheep farming which is important to their economy.

Fun fact there is around 25 million sheep in New Zealand which works out to be around 4.6 sheep per person.. so crazy!

As we got closer to the southernmost point I flew my drone up to get some shots. To view the cliff and the ocean from above

It is always stunning looking at the ocean hitting off the rocks from above!

Once you reach the very bottom of the Southern Island there is a single sign with arrows.

One is pointing to the equator which is 5140km north and the other arrow points to the south pole which is 4803 km south.

At this point this was the closest I had ever been to Antarctica.

Sort:  

Picturesque country no one could deny, extremely cold and windy for many parts of the year, I take it this was summer travel.

It sure is a beautiful part of the world. Extremely windy and cold even during summer while we were there in February.
The Catlins has such diverse landscape. Stay tuned for the next Catlins post 🙂

Keeps the place a little more remote, weather is never a problem once you have the right gear.

You sure got some awesome shots with the drone 👌
