Travel Guide

Dunedin

Dunedin art:

“Dunedin was blessed with some incredible street art, including a lot hidden down the recesses and odd throughfares of the inner city. It was well worth the effort to hunt them down.”

This is a good tour of the city of Dunedin although you do get to see the city through the eyes of kidnappers and police.

The weather:

Of course, this being Dunedin, it could turn winterish at the drop of a hat. Today the daffs were waving their cheery heads in the sun. The next thing they could be poking through a blanket of spring-time snow.”
