Southern Scenic Route

The Souther Scenic Route runs from Te Anau to Dunedin. We car toured it, as my knee was still too tender to walk on. We decided we were not "get out of the car and take a picture" types of tourists, but there were still nice sites on the way.

The Pounamu Palace watches the sunset at Bluff. This is one of the most southern points on the souther island, and you can see the outlines of Stewart Island, to the south.

"Nugget Point". Apparently these rocks are named after gold nuggets - but what shape does a nugget have?

Nugget Point also had a colony of yellow eyed penguins which you can see swim in from the water at sunset! The way they walk is so cute and funny, but they are great swimmers.
