Dunedin has a new layer to its identity. Dunedin street art is glitter, monochrome, whimsical, challenging and humorous, the gamut of emotion is captured on a brick wall, thank you Dunedin.

You can stand in an area of fifteenth century adeze (tool) manufacturing, walk in the footsteps of gold miners, visit a settlers graveyard where the mostly forgotten names of nineteenth century Nelson inhabitants are buried and you can experience the pleasure of being in a wildly remote, beautiful part of the South Island. Windswept beaches, extraordinary landforms, heritage and history are all free and easily accessible. Remember to follow the advice of the Department of Conservation. Ensure that heritage areas are left intact with only your footprints and wildlife is treated with respect.
