🦪📸 Fresh back from Bluff!
Our group has just returned from a great few days at the Bluff Oyster Festival and what a trip it was.

Plenty of oysters (of course!), amazing local seafood, live music, and a really fun atmosphere down in Bluff, along with time to enjoy Invercargill and the surrounding sights.

Roman Travers from Newstalk ZB was a special guest on the tour, adding another great element.

Thanks to everyone who came along - we hope these photos bring back some great memories!

We’re already looking forward to heading back for the 2027 festival and would love to have you join us 😊
