We had arrived in Invercargill in the evening and were looking for accommodation. We just happened to be parked opposite this wonderful historic Water Tower just on sunset. So pretty! This spectacular old water tower was built in 1889 and holds 300.000 litres and was...More

LOVELY PHOTO OPPORTUNITY

Just a short walk or drive from the centre of town. An old building that shows the history of the area. Built in 1889, a photo worthy of getting there.

Drove past it and stopped to have a look, but there is nothing to tell you anything about it. If they are not going to re-open it, they could at least have a information board with details/history on the tower. So for the moment, drive...More
