The Catlins

A coastal rainforest park.
Some wonderful jungle here again, lots of ferns and mosses, lichens and interestingly different native trees, some that grow sideways, some that have razor-like leaves. Deserted beaches (not so warm here though!) sea caves, blow-holes and waterfalls.
More seals and sneaky peaks at a few Hector's dolphins, who feed about 10 metres from the coast here.
Had my first oysters here, Bluff oysters from Bluff, the southernmost tip of the South Island. Shared a backpackers' house for two nights, though we did have a private bathroom, so not quite the real deal!
