Bluff: New Zealand's Southernmost Town! 🌬️🚢

#summervacay Ah, Bluff, the southernmost town on New Zealand's South Island! When I visited, the weather wasn't great, and the overall atmosphere of the town felt quite "chilly and quiet." It was overcast, and there weren't many people around. I'll be releasing a 3-day, 2-night "Southward Bound" travel guide later, but this post is a detailed look at Bluff itself. What I Found in Bluff: Bluff Statue (Stirling Point Signpost): You'll need to pull over to the side of the road to stop here, so remember to watch for traffic! This iconic signpost marks the start (or end!) of State Highway 1 and points to major cities around the world. It's a must-do photo op! 📸 Bluff Maritime Museum: If you haven't seen penguins up close, you can see their taxidermied specimens here. The entry fee is $5. If you're not a big fan of museums, you might consider skipping this one, but it offers a glimpse into the town's rich maritime history and its connection to the sea and wildlife. Despite the quiet atmosphere, it's a significant geographical point and offers a raw, authentic feel of New Zealand's deep south. #newzealand #bluff #southisland #southernmosttown #stirlingpoint #maritimemuseum #travelnz #coldandquiet #travelguide #nzadventures #bluffstatue 🇳🇿🚢
