Description

The Stirling Point signpost was first erected in c. 1960. The original wooden signpost had six destination blades including Dog Island,
Ruapuke Island, Wellington, London and the South Pole. After repeated vandalism, a metal post was cemented into place and twelve destination
blades were fitted.

Administratively, Bluff is part of Invercargill City and the signpost includes sister cities of Invercargill. The sister-city relationship
with Hobart broke down in the late 1990s. The relationship with Kumagaya in Japan was formalised in 1993 and with Suqian in China in 2013.
When a Scottish tourist pointed out in 2017 that directions, distances and the coordinates displayed by the signpost were wrong, officials reviewed
the setup and confirmed the errors. As part of the corrections implemented, Tokyo in Japan has now been removed from the signpost and
replaced with Suqian, but the former sister city Hobart has been kept on the sign.
