Yeah I visited that museum too. The botanic gardens park was very nice. I was there on the weekend and nothing much was open and it was incredibly lifeless. That along with the feeling that this place would be dark and miserable in winter made me think it really was the ass-end of NZ.Everso Biggyballies wrote: ↑1 year agoI used to spend 1 week in 6 in NZ for work, mostly North Island but South Island a couple of times a year. It is very pretty and I liked Christchurch (it was pre Earthquake though, no idea what its like now).... but Invercargill, other than some nice Art Deco buildings is bloody freezing and way out of my comfort zones. I do remember visiting a good old car bike and truck museum there though. Interesting toilets there as well.Kai-Star wrote: ↑1 year agoI've looked up the NZ South Island before. Pricey too. At least near Queenstown and Christchurch. Price goes down other places. Would never recommend Invercargill though.MonteCristo wrote: ↑1 year agoYep. You can get beachfront or beachside for under a million, and be under an hour away from the airport!Everso Biggyballies wrote: ↑1 year ago As an aside I also looked at living in Perth! Monte, have you seen the prices of Beach property in Perth?
If only the Margaret River region had more beachside towns. It looks incredible around there. Haven't been before, but might go next year (or NZ south island - we'll see).
Too close to the Antarctic for me though!
Which is all getting a bit off topic of F1 Silly Season....
