Shayne Currie begins his Great New Zealand Road Trip travelling from Cape Rēinga to the Bay of Islands. Video / NZ Herald

We’re on the road again – from coast to hinterland – in a new editorial series to gauge the mood of the nation and celebrate the very best of New Zealand.

As we head into summer and out of a post-pandemic economic recession, it’s time to reset and uncover some of New Zealand’s great stories.

Join us for the Great New Zealand Road Trip during which we’ll be meeting notable and everyday Kiwis helping make a difference in their towns, regions, country, and the world. Or there might be a strong story in the plight of your town and community.

The Great NZ Road Trip starts in two weeks.

In association with MTF and with the help of our NZME teams, editor-at-large Shayne Currie is travelling the country – starting in Northland from Wednesday, November 20, and winding his way south for the following fortnight.
