🚗 Road Trip to New Zealand's Southernmost City: Invercargill! 🌏

During our stay in Queenstown, we kept passing a sign pointing to "Invercargill"—so we did a quick search and discovered it’s New Zealand’s southernmost city! Spontaneity won, and we squeezed in a day trip to explore this off-the-beaten-path gem. 📍 The Journey 🚘 3-hour scenic drive from Queenstown to Invercargill 🌟 Must-Visits: 🚛 Bill Richardson Transport World 🎫 $40 NZD Southern Hemisphere’s largest private transport museum! Founded by a trucking tycoon who turned his passion into a massive collection of vintage trucks, Fords, gas pumps, and even McDonald’s toys (hello, Filet-O-Fish car—"McDonald’s fans, rejoice!" 🍟🚗). Bonus: His daughter added mini cars, RVs, retro fashion, and more! (Missed the Classic Motorcycle Mecca? Next time—they offer combo tickets!) 🌊 Stirling Point (Bluff) "World’s End" signpost—only 4,810km from Antarctica! ❄️ Nearby Oyster Cove restaurant (has a Mandarin-speaking staff!) serves Bluff oysters (Mar-Aug only). Fair warning: Ours were super briny & bitter—maybe an acquired taste? 🦪😬 🏖️ Oreti Beach 26km of hard-packed sand—perfect for driving, biking, or sunset chasing! ☀️ Pro tip: Check tide times to avoid getting stuck! 🏛️ Historic Downtown Charming 19th-century architecture, like the water tower—great for a stroll if time allows. 📸 Shot on Fujifilm XS-10 #NewZealand #NZTravel #OffTheBeatenPath #RoadTripVibes #HiddenGems #Fujifilm #TravelDiaries
