An exploration of lifestyles around New Zealand's coastlines and waterways through Derek Morrison's book, Living the Dream.
Derek was NZ Geographic's 2018 Photographer of the Year.
His book has stunning images from around the motu and it shows and tells the stories of people who live by the water, with many and varied lifestyles and ways to make a living.
From the Seaweed pickers in the far North to the home of a surfing family in St Clair, Dunedin.
One of the properties featured is writer and historian Janet Abbott's cottage, Rosy Morn at Boulder Bay near Godley Head, Christchurch. Janet tells of the colourful history of the settlement and of her stone and clay bach.
