Dunedin

Dunedin is home to the Highlanders, a professional rugby team in the Super Rugby league who play home games at the Forsyth Barr Stadium.

Dunedin is a small but populous city on the east coast of New Zealand's South Island, protected by the 20-km-long Otago Peninsula, a stunningly rugged landmass brimming with native and critically endangered birds and animals. No trip to Dunedin is complete without hiking around the scenic peninsula, visiting the albatross colony at Taiaroa Head, and riding back along the wooden tracks of the old Dunedin Railway to the gingerbread-house-like Railway Station. Dunedin is one of the country’s most historic cities as its excellent natural harbour became a hub for the Scottish during The Otago Gold Rush era in the 1800s. The name ‘Dunedin’ itself derives from its Scottish heritage, as does Larnach Castle, the only castle in the entire country.
