Saturday Morning with Kim Hill on Radio NZ National
7 November 2009

For the last 30 years, lawyer Jeremy Pope and his wife Diana have been updating their best-selling Mobil travel guides of the North and South islands from the 1970s. The fully rewritten and expanded Penguin New Zealand Travel Guide: North Island (Penguin, ISBN: 978-014301010-4) was published recently, and Jeremy will talk to Kim at around 11.40am.

Earlier in the programme, between 10 and 11am in the Playing Favourites slot, ex-pat New Zealander Reg Mombassa talks to Kim from Sydney. Reg was a founder member of the Australian group Mental as Anything, and his designs were instrumental in the success of surfwear company Mambo Graphics. He has an ongoing career as a globally acclaimed fine artist, and tells his story to another explat Kiwi, Murray Waldren, in The Mind and Times of Reg Mombassa (HarperCollins, ISBN: 978-0-7322-8789-4).
