On a quest to dig up our history
Amanda Young has been known to bore her friends by forcing upon them the history of the area that they are biking, kayaking or driving through. But for the Nelson-based archaeologist, knowing about history makes the landscape that much more meaningful.
Mrs Young was born in Christchurch but grew up and studied in Auckland before returning to the South Island in 2000.
“The sheer beauty of the place and the accessibility of the outdoors – that’s why Nelson is such a fabulous place to live.”
Gotta love the enthusiasm though.
