The Catlins désigne le sud de l'île du Sud en Nouvelle-Zélande. La zone se situe entre Balclutha et Invercargill, à cheval sur la frontière entre les régions d'Otago et Southland.

Zone accidentée et peu peuplée, The Catlins disposent d'un paysage côtier pittoresque et d'une dense forêt qui abrite de nombreuses espèces d'oiseaux menacées.

Ses fortes vagues sont une attraction pour surfeurs.

Nugget Point, Catlins, New Zealand South Island. 4 January 2008.

When tides are high silky white Kotuku Kutupapa perch sheltered and protected on the rock nugget pictured. Shy and graceful, they fly with the tide to spoon their bills in shallow Catlins estuaries (hence the name 'Spoonbill')

Seals sleeping on rocks. How many can you count? They are well camouflaged.

It was undescribably cold, so we didn't walk the entire way to this lighthouse. Just as well, if we hadn't have turned back, we wouldn't have made it to see the penguins arriving at a cove a few hundred metres down the road.

As we walked along Nugget Point trial, we were presented with a departing rainbow to the south.

Apparently, in the right light it becomes obvious why this place is called Nugget Point. This obviously wasn't the right light.
