The History of Geographic Rivalries in NZ

From Afternoons, 2:37 pm on 13 September 2018

NZ has a history of geographic rivalry, between regions, between cities, and between towns. On the sports field, in politics, in culture and even in warfare. This talk will focus on our biggest geographic rivalries since 1840. 

Our regular historian, Grant Morris takes a look back.
