Does anyone live on the South Island!?!?!
 
Keep seeing loads of meetups for the North, mostly Auckland. Surely someone has moved to the South?

Any meetups planned for South Island? Dunedin? Christchurch?
:p

Keep it to yourself, but I live down south;)

DandJMay - I don't know, I've never been there. I would think that if you appear to have neighbours and lots of other houses around then it's highly likely that someone else does live in the same town as you...:p Or perhaps Invercargill is a NZ version of the Truman Show:rofl::wub:


Sorry, I really shouldn't post later into the evening:lol:

the west coasters are the most super fun people, lots of irish ancestry there, you should have fun. take a trip up the coast to karamea and the heaphy track if you like walking. punakaiki is pretty and the whole coast is awesome.
