Hubby and I drove down to Stirling Point enroute to Te Anau. We wanted to see the famous signpost. Luckily the sun was shining and it wasn't too windy. Bluff is an interesting place to drive through. Some of the houses have some interesting objects on their front lawns. At Stirling point you need to avail yourself of the automated public toilet. Inside it a voice warns you that the door will open in 10 minutes so you'd best not linger. Then the toilet plays music which I guess is to help relax you so you can get the job done. The paper is automated, press a button and you are dispensed a job lot, soap, water and hot air dryer all auto and the the toilet flushes itself when it senses you washing your hands. So wash your hands folks!

I've been here many times and it has changed dramatically, it used to be a stand alone sign post with scrub and farms and a walking track. Now you can stay here in a hotel set high on the hill over looking the sea and walk down a winding path to the beach . Eat in a restaurant and watch the view of the sea and the weather doing its worst, safely tucked away inside in the warmth.
