Understand
Blueskin Bay is an estuary where the Waitati River and Careys Creek meet the Pacific Ocean, on the East Otago coast. New Zealand's main north-south rail line, Highway 1 and 'The other 1' all pass through here. The Bay lends its name unofficially to the surrounding district which is geographically and socially on the fringes of Dunedin. The area's small towns and villages of Waitati, Warrington, Seacliff, Evansdale and Doctors Point attract lifestyle-commuter types who work in the city and alternative dudes who want to do their own thing. There is an unusually large proportion of Germans in Waitati.
