Southern Land, Southern People

Neville Peat

Diverse, dynamic, beautiful, unique ...
Southern New Zealand is an extraordinary region.

This book celebrates Otago Museum's major new Southern Land, Southern People gallery, opened at the end of August 2002. It offers a comprehensive insight into the character of the region - its astonishing landforms, lost fauna and flora, fossil record and boisterous climate - and the way people have explored this challenging landscape and utilised its natural resources.
