![The Nugget Point Lighthouse. Just look at it! It's absolutely stunning. Definitely worth taking a look at this classic Kiwi lighthouse if you're in or near the Catlins area. Just be careful if walking the track at midnight. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6353090/705d8593-3865-40fc-abf3-c05dd60b95ae.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)

![This was taken after a hike in pitch black at 4:30am to the lighthouse.  I prepared the camera and waited patiently and without much sleep to gather the first rays of the sunrise.  It truly was the best sunrise I have seen and well worth the lack of sleep. #Adventure](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6353090/ae658306-15f2-425e-8771-d283686fd997.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)

![One of many walks within The Catlins in New Zealand's South Island, Purakaunui Falls is an easy 10 minute walk from the highway car park through pretty moss-covered rainforest.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6353152/18d1fb97-3abc-43d2-86f8-abfdcb7314d2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)

#### Check out the east coast of New Zealand’s Southern Island where the rugged splendour of Clutha’s many landscapes are set to impress.

This unspoiled destination is home to the wonderful wildlife that enjoy the rolling hills and mountains, rocky shores and white-sand beaches of the area. Catch the birdsong of some of the rarest birds of the South, or the sea lions, dolphins and penguins by the sea. Clutha also celebrates its storied gold-mining heritage. The settler spirit burns bright in Lawrence, the site of one of the world’s largest gold rushes.
