Dave Gee: Life from Right Field

Otago Orientation season has kicked off in Dunedin, with the traditional First Day Toga Parade.

The annual Toga Parade begins outside the Dunedin Dental School, and then heads along George Street (Dunedin's main street) to finish up in the Octagon. The route is the same as the one most of these students will make in a few years time in a black gown, when they celebrate their graduation from Otago University...
