Stirling Point gateway sign

Stirling Point is a landmark at the southern end of the New Zealand town of Bluff, New Zealand. It is notable as the southern end of both State Highway 1 and Te Araroa; both these facilities span the length of the country.[1][2][3] Stirling Point hosts a signpost with multiple directional signs; it is one of the most photographed items in Southland.[4] Stirling Point has an anchor chain sculpture which replicates the sculpture on Stewart Island.[5]
