I don't know if it was Anthony Hopkins/ the film or the story itself that captivates you. After dinner walk, to the statue for a quick photo. We had been throught the park a few times, but missed the statue. They have closed the front entrance to Quuens Park for work, but worth walking via this entrance to see it.

Having a couple of Indian motorcycles, it felt like a “must check it out” while in New Zealand. Burt’s a legend around these parts, and for an old guy, his story is fab, so we added this to our things to see in Invercargill. The rest of Queens Park is nice too, it has a cool aviary with some lovely birds worthy of a visit. If you’ve got kids theres a little farm too and a play area.

Do look up the story of 77 yr.old Burt Munro, who set world records on a sleek motor bike. The stature is worth a brief stop at Queen's Park.

Worth a visit if you are in Invercargill . It is a nice statue but not fantastic. You can see it from the road.

You need to know the story and the history of this great man where he set three world records on motorbike, a great achievement with all of his struggles, difficulties and challenges, for admiring him. Famous in Invercargill near his birth place at Edendale, locals gave honour by created this statue in the front of the big garden Queens Park. See him when you visit the garden.

Burt Munro has been immortalised by the film "The Fastest Indian" and there are many tributes to him throughout the city.

Of course we had to come to honour this legendary man.
He never gave up on his dream.
The Worlds Fastest Indian wasn’t built overnight, a whole heap of blood, sweat and tears went into this dream.
RIP Burt Munro.
You deserve to be recognised 👍
