Bruce Ansley ; read by Kevin Keys

From Curio Bay in Southland to Totaranui in Golden Bay, this is both a provocative history and a vast expedition across the land once known as Middle Island, as Ansley visits the places and people who hold the clues to the South's famous character. Not so very long ago, the South Island had most of New Zealand's people and just about all of the money. Gold miners found fortunes in the hills and rivers, sheep barons bestrode mountains, valleys, and plains. Wealthy Southerners ruled the embryonic government. Where now lies the South Island's golden fleece? And what is its future?
