Passing briefly through Invercargill, we meandered along the Southern Scenic Route through the Catlins, stopping at a number of lovely isolated inlets and bays and staying overnight at a very pleasant bed-and-breakfast farmstay in Progress Valley.
Curio Bay at low tide reveals the petrified remants of a Jurassic-era forest. It's also a good spot for penguin-spotting if you're patient and willing to hide behind some of the boulders so that they don't get frightened. Dolphins can sometimes be spotted at Porpoise Bay, though we didn't see any.
