Otago Harbour is seen to the West, Hoopers and Papanui inlets are lit to the east. The aspect it turns towards land is sunny and comparatively calm and encloses Otago Harbour and the city of Dunedin. Otago Peninsula is again the heart of Otago. The yellow-eyed penguin, which famously still breeds around Otago Peninsula, is a particular example. The book• The Face of Nature: An environmental history of the Otago Peninsula, by Jonathan West, is published by Otago University Press, $49.95.
