Bluff , previously known as Campbelltown and often referred to as The Bluff, is a town and seaport in the Southland region, on the southern coast of the South Island of New Zealand. It is the southernmost town in mainland New Zealand and, despite Slope Point and Stewart Island being further south, Bluff is colloquially used to refer to the southern extremity of the country . According to the 2006 census, the resident population was 1,850, a decrease of 85 since 2001.The Bluff area was one of the earliest areas of New Zealand where a European presence became established.

2. Shark Dive New Zealand Bluff
A shark attack is an attack on a human by a shark. Every year, around 80 unprovoked attacks are reported worldwide. Despite their relative rarity, many people fear shark attacks after occasional serial attacks, such as the Jersey Shore shark attacks of 1916, and horror fiction and films such as the Jaws series. Out of more than 489 shark species, only three are responsible for a double-digit number of fatal, unprovoked attacks on humans: the great white, tiger, and bull. The oceanic whitetip has probably killed many more castaways, but these are not recorded in the statistics.

4. Shark Experience Bluff
Megalodon , meaning big tooth, is an extinct species of shark that lived approximately 23 to 2.6 million years ago , during the Early Miocene to the end of the Pliocene. It was formerly thought to belong to the family Lamnidae, making it closely related to the great white shark . However presently there is near unanimous consensus that it belongs to the extinct family Otodontidae, which diverged from the ancestry of the great white shark during the Early Cretaceous. Its genus placement is still debated, authors placing it in either Carcharocles, Megaselachus, Otodus, or Procarcharodon. Scientists suggest that megalodon looked like a stockier version of the great white shark, though it may have looked similar to the basking shark or the sand tiger shark . Regarded as one of the largest and ...

The Hump Ridge Track is located in the south east of Fiordland National Park, in the South Island of New Zealand. The track is about 61 km in distance and is based in Waitutu Forest . About 1800 walkers complete the track each year. The closest town is Tuatapere, although people often stay in Te Anau and opt to drive south the morning of beginning the track. The track was established in November 2001, with the initial cost for the project at $3,950,000 NZD. The track crosses Māori land and much privately owned land. The Tuatapere Hump Track Trust owns two lodges and over 20 km of board walk, although the Department of Conservation maintains the track along the coast and the Port Craig School Hut.

The bay, along with neighbouring Porpoise Bay, is home to the endemic Hector's dolphin. Southern right whales are occasionally observed offshore, as on numerous parts of the country's coast. Located near the southernmost point of the South Island, Curio Bay is one of the major attractions in the Catlins, attracting around 100,000 visitors per year.

The land around Slope Point is used for sheep farming with no houses anywhere nearby. Eroded cliffs drop down to the sea below. An AA signpost there shows the distance to the Equator and the South Pole, and a small solar-powered lighthouse stands on farmland. There is no road to Slope Point; it must be reached by a 50 -minute walk following dilapidated yellow markers. There is no public access during the lambing season .

SOUTHLAND - End of the World

Southland NZ: End of the World (Catlins & Invercargill)
Nobody spends a week in Invercargill… Except us.

We waited out the weather in NZ’s southernmost city, hoping for a few clear days to explore Stewart Island. Stewart Island is the only place in NZ where the kiwi bird isn’t considered endangered. One’s chances of spotting a kiwi in the wild is greatly increased because Stewart Island kiwis are diurnal and feed both during the night and day. However, the weather spoiled our plans to spot a kiwi, and instead we found ways to entertain ourselves in Invercargill (including a visit to Splash Palace and trying the famous Bluff Oysters).

After spending a week in Invercargill, it was time to move on even though the weather hadn’t cleared. On to the Catlins! The Catlins is a beautiful and dramatic place in New Zealand.

Slope Point
Slope Point is the southernmost point of the South Island of New Zealand. Eroded cliffs drop down to the sea below, and there’s a signpost which shows the distance to the Equator and the South Pole. It’s pretty neat to be standing closer to the South Pole than the Equator! The entire area is windswept and looks like I’m standing on another planet.

Nugget Point Lighthouse
Nugget Point was one the highlights of our day in the Catlins. A picturesque lighthouse sits atop a steep headland with a scattering of rocky islets below (The Nuggets). The five minute walk to the lighthouse has incredible views along the coastline, where you can spot seals sunbathing on the rocks below.

Other highlights in the Catlins include: Purakaunui Falls, Teapot Land in Owaka, and feeding the mini horses in Niagara Falls.

We finished our exploration of Southland in sleepy Taieri Mouth. The weather cleared, and we had a beautiful morning on the beach.

SHOUTOUTS: Thanks to our friend Graeme for another round of coffees! We appreciate your support! If YOU want a shoutout, all you have to do is buy the CameraMan a cheap beer -

Curious about what a day in the office looks like for adventureViV & CameraMan? CHECK THIS OUT: We made a promotional video for adventure company 'Across Country Quad Bikes'! Oh, and another one coming soon featuring adventureViV in hot tubs...

For all of you GADGET GEEKS: Interested in getting a drone but hesitant to drop $$$$$ and crash it? We recommend getting a CHEAP drone first ( so you can practice with it, crash it, and get a good feel for flying before investing in a pricier drone!

Best Seafood Restaurant in New Zealand, Fleur's Place

When British television chef and restaurateur Rick Stein was told he could choose to go anywhere in the world to write a travel article for English newspaper the Daily Mail, he chose Fleurs Place in Moeraki, New Zealand.

The restaurant, run by the inimitable Fleur Sullivan, was 'Just one of those places that keeps cropping up in conversations' whenever there was a gathering of 'foodies', he said. Set in the sleepy little fishing village of Moeraki on the Otago coast, Fleurs Place has an unbeatable setting.

There's water on three sides, fishing boats bobbing in the harbour, the famous Moeraki boulders across the bay and, to the north, the open sea. Fleur uses only the freshest of local ingredients - indeed, fishing boats land their catches right into her restaurant.

Special thanks to Dean from McIver and Veitch Motorcycles for lending me a brand new BMW FGS800 for the weekend
