Great Southern Land
American travel writer Marcy Barack spent Christmas with her family on the northern beaches and parks of the South Island last year. She relates the experience – location by idyllic location – in a lengthy feature for the LA Times. Highlights of the trip include horse riding on desolate Wharariki Beach, watching a dreadlocked reggae band at Takaka, eating Rosy Glow chocolates in Collingwood, and admiring the clearest water in the world at Pupu Springs.
