SOUTH is a very personal offering from broadcaster Marcus Lush, and in this spectacular, top rating series, he delivers personal perspectives on the grit, charm and heart that makes up the fabric of South. Marcus explores Southland and Otago it's hidden majesty, almost unchartered waters, roads less travelled and reticent characters in some of New Zealand's most inaccessible and remote parts of the country. But it wouldn't be an exploration without testing a few personal limits, whether it was braving Foveaux Strait, canoeing down remote river gorges or trekking into the wilds of Fiordland, Marcus was up for it! And then, of course, there is the other star of the show - South itself. The stunning scenery is nothing short of breathtaking, to be seen to be believed.
