You mentioned Esk Street, many of the streets in Invercargill are named after rivers in Scotland and England. Names like Teviot, Spey, Yarrow, Dee, Forth, Tyne, etc. You probably would have noticed the same in Oamaru, Thames, Exe, Trent, Nen, etc.
In Sydney, there's a bunch of pies u heat in oven for 40 mins (they're all sh*t) and 3 different ones u microwave for 3 mins (sh*t, as you'd expect) and nearby there's one bakery with a heated cabinet selling 2 different pies and a long sausage roll (all bloody disgusting and luke warm) I MISS KIWI PIES
I grew up in Invercargill but haven't been back in over 20 years. Lovely to see so many familiar buildings (as well as some of the new) and your wander around Queens Park brought back so many memories 🙂
I also grew up in invercargill too but left for greener pastures after college. I visited 8 months ago ( haven’t been back in over 25yrs) with a few newby tag alongs, we all loved it. I ditched the GPS as not much has changed apart from the odd streetscape, but I’ve always loved Victorian Architecture with a sprinkling of contemporary Architecture. Queens Park in my opinion is comparable to any great park around the world and yes we’ve been to a few. The greater Southland area mixed in with Southland hospitality made our visit more enjoyable and traffic congestion… that’s just made up words to Southlanders. We loved it so much we’ve planned an invasion with the whole tribe next May for the Bluff Oyster Festival. 😊😊❤❤😊😊
I grew up in Invercargill and make a point of paying a visit to Queens Park every time I’m back. It’s a world class park, way underrated but loved by the locals
Alot has change in Invercargill city since i was last there 13 years ago. I used too work for spain & smith shearings. I used too live on tweed st, at the golden flats, must go back for a visit one day.
It was so nice to see my old home town. As usual it looks pristine and clean. Love all the new places there. Queen's Park was a great place to go to when I was a kid too. You missed the Tuatara place lol. Thanks for letting me see Invercargill again.
Will definitely go and visit Fat Bastards Pie shop. It was awesome to meet you both at the Rodeo. It was your pack bag that drew my attention and then I recognized you both
Nice review of Invercargill, I am commenting as a local. The Invercargill Central Mall opened 2 years ago a whole block was demolished to create our mall. We did also have a traditional department store across the road from the mall called H&J Smith which had been running since 1900 but sadly closed last year. The Art museum you showed is a temporary building the main museum was located in Queens Park but was closed in 2018 due to earthquake risks and was demolished months ago. This was the pyramid shaped building seen in the background of your video around 19:00. The Water Tower you showed around 21:30, you also used to be able to climb to the top and view the city this was open to the public on Sundays. The building was closed in 2012 due to earthquake concerns after the Christchurch earthquake in 2011. Fat Bastard pies my favourite pie is the Chicken Cranberry Brie pie.
You guys are Awesome ! have loved watching your journey.. you really go out of your way to include your audience and help them experience the site and sounds and people that you come across. Thanks and all the best for the rest of your travels. Are you coming to Australia ?
Hello my new friends. (Only by watching your videos ). It's getting better all the time. Sure loving the visits to all the different towns. You are both funny. Happiness is.. Regards South Africa 🇿🇦.
The line of people waiting for a pie was a bit long when we were down there last. I hope you paid a visit to E. Hayes and Sons to see the famous "Worlds Fastest Indian".
Esk is Scottish from Norwegian: from ask 'ash tree', Don St Scottish Gaelic name Dòmhnall means world ruler. "Inver" (Inbhir), meaning a river's mouth, with "Cargill", the name of Scottish early settler William Cargill.
That bridge as you drove into Roxburgh, if you had parked the car at the end and walked back to the halfway point of that bridge and looked over the side, the water, the colour, is just amazing.😊
Good old Invercargill got love. You should have gone and had a look at E A Hays. It a cross between a car museum, Department Store, Hardware Store and anything in between really. You still haven’t had the best pies in N.Z. Yet. My husband is a pie connoisseur. Nope it’s not the Sheffield Pie shop. Try the Amberley Pie Shop in North Canterbury. The guy that owns its English, so there’s some pasties you will be familiar with. Cornish pasties, Pork Pies etc. But he’s got the Kiwi pie thing down pat. Also trying out different takes on things. How about this, Philly cheese brisket bourbon and pepper Jack cheese. Also Smoked Kahawai, leek and horseradish for something completely wacky. If you up that way again Turn of at Domit and do the inland scenic route to Gore Bay, you can camp there. Great beach .
Invercargill has the best free attraction ever - the village at Demolition World. Over the years the owners have put together a massive collection of old, antique and completely random stuff all curated and laid out like a village you can explore. It's weird and wonderful, somewhat spooky and very dirty - definitely not everybody's thing, but I loved it and spent several hours there!
One a school trip we got to go up to the top of the Water Tower it has such amazing views. My aunty got married at that Church by Fat Bastard pies and a crowd favourite is always Queens Park, it's such a shame the Museum there is shut down. I have fond memories of going through there growing up. There was this one mannequin there that always scared you or you made up stories or her moving to scare younger family members 😅 Also every so often people will put dish washing liquid in the fountains outside Queen's Park so the fountains bubble up. I'm sure the grounds keepers don't like having to clean up afterwards but it was always a game of will it be bubbly this visit or not.
Really good episode guys, one of my favorites so far. I mean the pie tasting at the "Fat Bastards" was just mouth watering, the gardens and the birds santurary was just beautiful! Just one thing about the sweet guy selling cherries, just thought he should have some gloves..
So that Mado doesn't feel left out. Oktoberfest has been stolen into Aotearoa culture and has been for decade's. The Irish just have a slightly better marketing team😅😂
One thing I don't like at all about New Zealand is the fact that most tour companies never give you ANY certainty on whether they will run tours on specific days so for many tourists going there is like playing the roulette since they can end up not being able to visit the places for which they went there in the first place (e.g. The Catlins)
Invercargill is a fine old town. I sense these videos are way behind in time. Seems like it's late December/early January though more than a month later when published. Perhaps these two have already left NZ or close to it.
They talk about people coming back to work after the holidays and there was a florist shop advertising Valentine’s Day so my guess is it only a couple of weeks ago maybe late January.
I was down about three weeks ago, I walked past Fat Bastard Pies, but it was around lunchtime and the queue was so long, I checked the morning opening which was 1/2 hour before I needed to be at the bus stop, sweet gave time, got there at 8.00am sweet, bugger due to staff illness not opening until 8.30am, bus departure time dam.
I visited Invercargill in February which is summer in NZ for those of you watching this from abroad and it felt like the middle of winter if you're from the north.
Loving you guys. Mado is so sweet and Glenn is a complete nutter. Like how you get things wrong sometimes. Slope Point is NOT the most southern point of New Zealand. That would be somewhere on Stewart Island! And all those three letter street names aren't completely random - they are European Rivers.
Southernmost point of nz is the bottom of Campbell Island, way further south than Stewart Island (unless you're counting the ross dependency, in which case it's the South Pole)
You don't actually sue ppl in New Zealand unlike the United States. You can take ppl to small claims court but you can't sue the government, police or anything like that.
You should have stopped in at Gisborne the most eastern city in the world and the first city in the world to see the sunlight everyday, has fantastic sun sets as well.
$400,000 to $600,000 NZL for a house in Invercargill? Almost starting to sound like most of Canada where many of its small and rural communities have houses at comparable prices. Even houses in "Little Nova Scotia", Waipu, are very expensive. Waipu is known as "Little Nova Scotia" as most of their residents are descendants of Normanite followers who migrated from St. Ann's in Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Island to Northern New Zealand in the late 19th century. Can't blame Jacinda Ardern's previous government for the high housing prices like Canadians are doing to Justin Trudeau.
@@danbluntasabullet8675 lol, Australia and NZ aren't the only countries that produce meat pies. My family has lived in Invercargill over 40 years and even they say FB are overrated.

And outsiders like me I love the golf course it's so beautiful like Zen a mini Augusta then don't forget the animal zoo.
I never made it further south than QT. This was a great first look at Invercargill! Fat Bastards looks great!
What a great refreshing honest review of Invercargill. Cheers
Alot has change in Invercargill city since i was last there 13 years ago. I used too work for spain & smith shearings. I used too live on tweed st, at the golden flats, must go back for a visit one day.

The museum is actually shut now. Due to the building being prone to earthquakes.
Invercargill has changed alot since i left in 2006 looks pretty nice , thanks for the tour
Come back to Invercargill please
I love the way Glen sweet talks a Galah !! It was a great Pie show/video. Excellent viewing -Thanks G & M
Chicken, Cranberry and Brie and Venison and Red Wine yum!!
Awesome channel Guys. Thanks heaps for sharing with us ❤🙏

I know! Should of done that but we were in a rush to catch jimmys pies which wasn’t even open 😂😂
Invercargill is on our itinerary and we will look out for the pie shop, maybe buy my husband one of the T-shirts I spotted ha ha!
It's on the main road into Invercargill from Dunedin, State highway one.

Glen in Dunedin we have a pie company called Who Ate All The pies, owned by an Englishman.
Yes Definitely....if only for the motorcycle museum.
I’ve gotta get to FB Pies 🥧
They just looks so good 🤤
I will have to go there next time I'm down! 😊
4:05 the story in the background 😂😭
Just heard it I'm the women who took on the 💀😂

Arrowtown is cool. Lake Hawea is magical
God I miss a good kiwi pie! Potato Top's my Favorite! Qatar has no pie shops :( Thanks for another great walk-about!
You should start a pie shop bro
You may not be spending much at camp sites, but you are a big boost for our pie makers 😂
You missed out the Queens Park Golf club
Did you go to transport museum or the bike one
Mado definitely morphing into an Irish girl !
" It was light still at 10 Turty"
" House prices not too bad around Invercargill, 500K " :)
Really good episode guys, one of my favorites so far. I mean the pie tasting at the "Fat Bastards" was just mouth watering, the gardens and the birds santurary was just beautiful! Just one thing about the sweet guy selling cherries, just thought he should have some gloves..

You are in my city do the estuary board walk

Should have asked who the name of the pie shop was named after.
Tay street is our marin street Dee is 2nd
I BOUGHT CHERRIES FROM THAT DUDE!!! DEVIL BURGER IS THE BEST RESTAURANT EVER!!! THE QUEEN ONCE STAYED AT THE GRAND HOTEL!!!
hahah whats the chances! Unfortunately we never made it to the restaurant :(
Oh no you both have made me damn hungry for a good pie.

there is only 1 City in New Zealand and its Auckland...the rest.of the Country's just a big farm
I visited Invercargill in February which is summer in NZ for those of you watching this from abroad and it felt like the middle of winter if you're from the north.
Wellington has a horrible climate - very windy, cold and cloudy even in mid-summer.
where did you say had the best pies
Sheffield, on the road between CHCH and the West Coast.
Hi i like your video
glen u said hamilton so u did go to hamilton
Yeah we have been there on two occasions my friend :)
🥰
Go to asia guys bo💫
Finishing our time in New Zealand first
I'm waiting for you
❤❤❤
I’m sad for you guys as the weather hasn’t been great this last week.
I spent two weeks there recently and the weather was fantastic.

Nope. named after Scottish rivers.
Did you see lots of mullets down there lol

Please you why not reply answer me please 😢😢😢😢😢
Probably you guy's most expensive country to visit so far?
The criminals are in Parliament! 😂
You went to Invercargill?! Lol. Poor you. 😂
This video didn't show much of anything. Felt like I was just watching two people walking around more interested in filming themselves.
$400,000 to $600,000 NZL for a house in Invercargill?
Almost starting to sound like most of Canada where many of its small and rural communities have houses at comparable prices.
Even houses in "Little Nova Scotia", Waipu, are very expensive.

Can't blame Jacinda Ardern's previous government for the high housing prices like Canadians are doing to Justin Trudeau.
When I started looking about 15 years ago, you could pick up a few of the older houses for $100,000.
What the hell are you feeding him Mado...he,s jumping out of his skin.
A private joke in NZ is that Invercargill is the A!@ hole of the whole lol.
Guys you’re eating too many pies. Every video! they’re not good for you 😂
Happiness is good for you :)
LOL, Kiwis eat too many pies 🙂 Luckily, Glen and Mado walk a lot and eat a lot of healthy food too.
To be fair, Fat Bastard Pies are extremely overrated. You need to have travelled extensively to appreciate that.
Best and I'm from Australia.
@@danbluntasabullet8675 lol, Australia and NZ aren't the only countries that produce meat pies. My family has lived in Invercargill over 40 years and even they say FB are overrated.
