    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

    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.

    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 🙂

    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.

    @justforlaughs1982 Месяц назад

    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)

    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 .

    $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.

That would be somewhere on Stewart Island! And all those three letter street names aren't completely random - they are European Rivers.
