North & South

Jul 01 2021
Magazine

North & South is New Zealand’s premier monthly current affairs and lifestyle magazine, specialising in long-form investigative journalism, delivered by award-winning writers and photographers. North & South also showcases New Zealand ingenuity and creativity, explores the country and profiles its people. It is a touchstone of New Zealand life.

LEAN IN TO THE COSY AND CHARACTERFUL VIBE OF A DUNEDIN WINTER GETAWAY • Winter in Dunedin gets a particularly bad rap but contrary to what you might think, the city really comes into its own during the cooler months of the year, when the swathe of cosy eateries, bars, galleries, museums and heritage attractions warmly beckon. It also happens to be one of the best times of the year to view the legendary local wildlife.

TURK-ISH DELIGHT • 26,000-litre water tanks make surprisingly good homes for tired skiers.

PRINCE OF THE COMMUNE • The victims of sexual abuse at the Centrepoint community are speaking out — but what about accountability for the perpetrators?

In this previously unpublished conversation, he gives a rare glimpse into the mindset of an abuser.

A Survivor Responds

HOW TO BUY A MOUNTAIN • With precious pieces of New Zealand at risk of being snapped up by wealthy overseas buyers, Kiwis have increasingly turned to crowdfunding to secure public ownership of the places they love.
