Otepoti/Dunedin was settled by Free Church Presbyterians in 1848. They worked hard and went to church on Sunday.

The gold rush in 1861 brought with it a completely different population to the one first envisioned - a much more lively and less law abiding one.

Your guide, Gregor Campbell has spent years curating true stories of crime and murder from Dunedin's grim past. He tells the tales expertly with poise and dignity as he drives around the seemingly harmless areas of Dunedin that, over a hundred years ago were more sordid and despairing. Relax back in a brand new Toyota Hiace minibus while Gregor brings our city back to life.... if only temporarily.

What you'll do

Northern Cemetery
40 Lovelock Ave, Dunedin, Dunedin, New Zealand
Drive through (or walk if the weather and inclination allows!) the gorgeous Northern Cemetery, full of wrought iron fences and mature trees. So much of Dunedin's past is buried here so let your guide bring it back to life.
The Cumberland Street Tragedy shook Dunedin to its core and made such an impact
that the family's grave is marked with 'who were brutally murdered'.
"I had cause to do what I did do
If she had not picked up the tomahawk I should not have done it."
MURDERED WITH DYNAMITE
HORRIBLE TRAGEDY IN DUNEDIN. TWO HEADLESS BODIES
"A crime was committed in Dunedin during the night of Wednesday, which there is
no reason to suppose can, by possibility be shown to rank below that of murder in its most revolting form."
