I ended up exploring on the incoming tide and during mid afternoon below the Harrington Point Gun emplacements. It's an amazingly fun and interesting coastline. It has all sorts of fascinating points to discover including the local wildlife which are forever close to hand.

If I’m being completely honest, I can’t tell you anything about these bands. I have no idea who the ‘Age Of Dog’ are or ‘The Clean’ or ‘The 3 D’s’ or any of the other groups that appear on this poster. I have no idea if people really did have fun on Zippy’s Last Tour, if Go Purple were any good or if The Bats performed before The Verlaines or even if those are the correct names of the bands. I have however heard of ‘The Chills’ and I do know where The Crown Hotel is, so that’s a start. This only confirms my deduction that I should really know more about the Dunedin Sound than I really do. John's Blog https://fromasmallcity.nz/ The latest print price guide: https://bit.ly/3oLw9OI
It's not hard to imagine that in the last moments of William Larnach's life, he took a moment to say a prayer in the dark as he sat in Committee Room J of the Parliament Buildings in Wellington. The mail had come from the South just before 3:00pm and it was evident to all that he had expected important news. Now, with the letters in his hands, it was even more evident to those around him that the contents of the letters were of an unsatisfactory nature. He knew the outgoing mail would be leaving soon and with a look of extreme agitation, he quickly wrote responses to all three letters, put them in the out going mail and then retired to Committee Room J, locking the door behind him armed with a revolver.
