By the time you read this, I’ll be gone... but not for long! Because there’s nothing quite like a winter escape, as this month’s SOUTH magazine hits the streets. I’m (hopefully) soaking in the sun while sinking cocktails in Vanuatu – I’ll be sure to fill you all in next month. Meanwhile, do enjoy our June issue in which we explore another getaway much closer to home (Great Barrier Island), see why Clevedon is a hub for the arts, check out Karaka’s newest shopping precinct, discover what’s happening ‘down the line’ at Mercer and much more. Enjoy!
