Reluctantly, we left Dunedin behind and continued south. The backroads from Dunedin to Invercargill pass through a region known as the Catlins, home to some of the most beautiful scenery in the country. It is famous for its remote little fishing villages, rainforest coming right down to the coast, deserted beaches and abundance of wildlife – seals, penguins, dolphins, sea lions and sea birds.
Two of the highlights were the evocatively named Nugget Point and Cannibal Bay.
