Slope point is the southernmost point of the South Island of New Zealand and lies just south of the small settlement of Waikawa. The land in the area is primarily used for sheep farming and housing can't be found in the area. To reach the point, you must walk about 30 minutes as their are no roads. At the point, you will find sheep, rugged cliffs with the sea below and strange wild swept trees. The few trees seen were planted by man to serve as shelter for the animals. The area is constantly battered by extremely cold, strong southwesterly windows blowing from Antarctica. The trees taking a licking and make for some pretty strange scenery.
