In 1949 an historic Ranfurly Shield Challenge took place at Carisbrook stadium in Dunedin.
Considered Buller's finest moment - the team unexpectedly drew with Otago six all, bolstered by the support of hundreds of visiting supporters.
Julie Benjamin's father Harry Benjamin travelled to Dunedin from Westport.
Now she's making an RNZ Eyewitness podcast about the trip he and his rugby club took to support the Buller team.
