Invercargill

Invercargill straddles the Waihopai River on the Southland Plains in New Zealand’s far south, a position that has established it as Southland’s principal urban centre. The city’s unusually broad, planned streets and many Scottish names recall the 19th-century settlement that grew here. Queen’s Park provides a large central green space, while the 1889 Invercargill Water Tower remains a distinctive brick landmark. Beyond town, the Waihopai reaches the New River Estuary, part of the coast opening toward Foveaux Strait.
