About this listen
In Down South, writer Bruce Ansley goes on a journey back to his beloved South Island of New Zealand in search of what makes it unique.
From Curio Bay to Golden Bay, in Down South writer Bruce Ansley sets off on a vast expedition across the South Island, Te Waipounamu, visiting the places and people who hold clues to the south's famous character.
'A wild and a contemplative journey that gives readers a glimpse of the fascinating stories that made up some of the South Island's glittering past.' - RNZ
I feel the book requires the listener to have a reasonable degree of understanding of the amazingly varied physical geography of the South Island and to have personally experienced a number of the locations described. Without this context the story is a bit lost.
As a past tourist, I feel a little more educated in certain aspects of the South's relatively short history.
Only for those who have visited, ironically.
