Ah, Invercargill, home of the world's fastest Indian motorcycle. When I visited NZ, I only got as far south as Dunedin which has the most fantastic looking railway station I've ever seen. Also rode the Taieri Gorge railway which has to be the scenic equivalent of the Cumbres and Toltec in North America. I wanted to get a little further south to ride the Kingston Flyer?, but time did not permit. You have some great railways down there.
