To Invercargill

The only town that I know of that ryhmes with Arthur Scargill. We finish off the Catlins section by Waipapu point - This is the scene of NZ's worst maritime disaster where a ship sank in 1891 with 131 lives lost. There is a reef 1 km from the shore which you can see - 3 years later a lighthouse was built on the point. We also stop at a place where you can see the wreck of the ship 'Eno' at low tide. This is the worst shipwreck at low tide that I have ever seen - all you can see is a few poles sticking up. We carry on and end up at Invercargill and check in to our hostel.
