Southland comes to life in spring. Crisp, frosty mornings give way to bright, sunny days. Newborn lambs and calves are dotted against a backdrop of lush, green farmland. Birdlife is active and abundant. Southlands gardens are blooming and the whole region is vibrant and alive.

Southland plays host to a variety of events during Spring including the internationally-rated cycling Tour of Southland and the Burt Munro Challenge Rally weekend, held in the memory of Southland’s world famous motorcycling land speed record holder and inventor.
