On a road trip with poet Sam Hunt in the 1970s looking for somewhere to live and work, Robin White "fetched up" in Dunedin.
It took only one trip out to Otago Peninsula for White to know that was where she would like to live. A couple of years later she found a house in lower Portobello for a "princely sum of $1500" that, she says, suited her perfectly, meeting her primary criteria of being close to the sea.
Her view was Harbour Cone.
