Dunedin: the coolest city at the bottom of the world<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Dunedin. It\u2019s the coolest little city at the bottom of the world<\/a> and if you live in New Zealand, there\u2019s a high chance you probably haven\u2019t ventured that far South yet. The South Island cops a bit of flak – it\u2019s undoubtedly colder in winter, can be expensive to travel to from other urban areas and, you say, what is there to do?<\/p>\n

Enter Dunedin\u2019s burgeoning arts and culture scene, gorgeous outdoor scenery and experiences that all of the family can enjoy: there is so much to see and do<\/a>. Go on a guided tour with Small City Big Walks and explore Dunedin\u2019s uber-cool street art, where walls all over the city have been adorned with murals by some of the world\u2019s best street artists like ROA and Phlegm.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re still not tired after all that walking, try making it up Baldwin Street, the world\u2019s steepest street, without stopping. If you\u2019re lucky enough to be there during Cadbury\u2019s Annual Chocolate Carnival, watch about 25,000 Jaffas roll down the street en masse with the Jaffa Race.<\/p>\n

For an activity that\u2019s equally cultural but a little more low key, mosey on over to the Dunedin Public Art Gallery and Otago Museum. Both are some of New Zealand\u2019s oldest institutions, with collections full of stunning art and artefacts, and exhibitions that will thrill the young and old.<\/p>\n

No mattter what kind of experience you\u2019re after, Dunedin\u2019s nooks and crannies are bursting with culture and a unique city experience. Best of all their Geeks on Wheels team is pretty cool to boot.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our Dunedin Geeks on Wheels Team<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Andrew and Damian from Dunedin\u2019s Geeks on Wheels team reckon Dunedin is a pretty cool place to live too.<\/p>\n

Damian, a USA native made the great migration to Dunedin about six months ago, and already rates the place as having good outdoorsy activities for the family and for some alone time. His favourite place to go and be one with nature is the trails along Silver Stream in Mosgiel, but he also reckons the many parks like the Dunedin Botanic Garden, is perfect for hanging with the family. And it\u2019s not all about the greenery, Damian loves to take his family to one of many cool little theatres for a spot of dramatics. There\u2019s no shortage of real life dramatics as a GoW technician though – Damian has witnessed one of his customer\u2019s laptops actually catch fire! Don\u2019t worry, this is a rarity and the GoW team will help you out before<\/em> it gets to the catching fire stage. Don\u2019t let Damian catch you double-clicking your mouse too often though, this is his technological pet peeve, saying that most people don\u2019t know when to click just once. Something everyone\u2019s a little guilty of, perhaps?<\/p>\n

Andrew on the other hand, a Dunedin native, reckons many of his customers are a little too free with their passwords – either not remembering them at all, or writing them all down in one place. Passwords can be tricky things to remember though, especially if you have multiple accounts, so don\u2019t fret too much. It\u2019s Andrew\u2019s job to do the worrying for you, and he\u2019s a fine technician, specialising in cloud services and synchronising data across multiple mobile devices. His favourite place in Dunedin is a place called Ross Creek, in Maori Hill. Andrew says that back in the day you could see glow worms on the banks of creek at night time. He might be a little psychic too, as Andrew\u2019s childhood tech-dream was the ability to communicate to one another through video. Impressive! Communication is important to Andrew, who despite leaving Dunedin for a number of years, jumped at the chance to go back, to be near his family and raise a wee one of his own.<\/p>\n
