When you mention the South Island harbour region of Whakaraupō Lyttelton Harbour, a lot of listeners will smile because they have a happy memory of the area, because it's the sort of magical place where stories are made.
Recognising the rich potential for stories from this intriguing neck of the woods, author, historian and educator Dr Jane Robertson has written not one, but two fantastic books about the bays of Lyttleton Harbour.
The second book's out now and is called Living Between Land & Sea, The Bays of Whakaraupo Lyttelton Harbour, with a focus on the many jetties that dot the long narrow inlet.
