In a field trip to Bluff Hill/Motupōhue Scenic Reserve, students can learn about plant species and the history of the area and important events.

The teaching resource is designed for use on the Foveaux Walkway and the Glory Track, to create a loop to Stirling Point.

Bluff is located 25 km south of Invercargill. The summit of Bluff Hill/Motupōhue can be driven to, or walked to via either the Tōpuni or the Millennium tracks, and offers panoramic views across Foveaux Strait to Rakiura/Stewart Island.
