Stirling Point marks the southern end of State Highway 1, which runs the length of New Zealand. The point is memorable for the large signpost displaying distances to major cities in the world - a photograph of this signpost is a must for your travel journey. Stirling Point has an anchor chain sculpture which replicates the sculpture on Stewart Island.
The old Māori legend of the South Island refers to the creation of New Zealand, describing the North Island as the fish, the South as 'Te Waka a Māui' (Māui’s canoe) and Stewart Island-Rakiura is believed to be the anchor from the canoe and is named 'Te Punga a Māui' (Māui’s anchor stone). To celebrate this story, you will find artwork in the form of a big chain sculpture at Stirling point and the matching end on Stewart Island.
