I'm down here in Kiwiland (south island only) for a couple of weeks to visit the FIL for his 80th birthday. Moslty in the Invercargill area, but will making a tour of the northern end of the island at the end of the trip. Doing a loop from Christchurch to Nelson and back. Staying a couple of nights in Nelson. Any tips on must-do's or must see's? I'd be willing to help eradicate local vermin too.

Hi Mate, When are you olanning to do your "loop" I am in Nelson.
What type of thing do you want to see? If youare coming from Christchurch I would suggest coming up the east coast on the way to Nelson then returning to Christchurch via the center route over the lewis Pass. If you have more than a couple of days in Nelson then the Able Tasman National Park is definitly worth a visit and yu can do day trips into the park via water taxi for not too much $$
