Introducing South Canterbury
SH1 heading south from Christchurch along the coast passes through the port city of Timaru on its way to Dunedin and carries a lot of traffic. The inland route along SH8 is also busy, but comes with the added no-cost attraction of the stunning landscapes of the Mackenzie Country. Studded with the intense blue lakes of Tekapo and Ohau, SH80 veers off at Twizel in the Mackenzie Country to hug Lake Pukaki all the way to the magnificent heights of Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park.
