Kia Ora Welcome to Fiordland Local

Infomation on Milford Sound Fiordland and Southland New Zealand

Hi I'm Alistair and this site is about  Fiordland, Southland and Otago. The southern region of New Zealand. Fiordland National Park is a place I came to in 1974 and it caught me. I was very lucky it did as it changed my life in so many ways. I'll tell you more about that later.

Fiordland and Southland are special and maybe that is why you have got this far and are reading this.

You're a local or you're a visitor?

Then this site is for you. We'll talk about stuff, here and around Fiordland and Southland. What is happening in your region. Travel in and around Fiordland and Southland. Walking, diving kayaking or flying.  What's good, what's bad, any general news happening around the area.
If you have an opinion contact me and I will add your comments to this site. Lets get something going.
