Best known as New Zealand’s southernmost and westernmost city, Invercargill is also among the world’s most southerly cities. It serves as the commercial centre of Southland, in the broad Southland Plains east of the Ōreti, or New River, and about 18 km north of Bluff. Rich farmland surrounds the city, with extensive conservation areas and marine reserves nearby, including Fiordland National Park and the Catlins coast.
