Landmarks
In 1995 the work of 3 Southern mates, artist Grahame Sydney, fiction writer Owen Marshall and poet Brian Turner was brought together in a seminal publication ‘Timeless Land’. It went on to become a multi-award winning Kiwi classic. 25 years on ‘Landmarks’ is a lavish new companion volume featuring works completed since 1995 that once again celebrates 3 of our literary and artistic heavyweights. Through their own marks, be it in ink or paint, they offer a love song to Central Otago and the South, its magnificent spaces, and their continued deep connection to the land. Published 2020.

View from the South

David Eggleton writes in the New Zealand Listener ”Above all, [Marshall’s] poems are redolent of the South Island – all wild winds and dry hills, sleepy summer afternoons, the shimmer of light on lakes, snow like whitewash on the Alps.” Published 2018. SORRY, SOLD OUT.

Promised Land
In 1862 the barren Interior of Otago, New Zealand was largely unknown, and home to a small number of newly-settled pastoralists.

Using several surviving diaries of gold prospectors, ‘Promised Land’ is a comprehensive and graphic account of the story of the discovery of gold and what we now call ‘Central Otago’. Published 2009.
