Highlanders vs Sharks
Dunedin, 12 March 2004.
The first game at Carisbrook in 2004 for the Highlanders was never going to be an easy one. But gee, it did not need to be such a tease and at the end, disappointment.

What a weekend . A great victory by the New Zealand All Blacks to secure the Tri-Nations Trophy, even if not the most spectacular of matches. Smokin' Joe 'Rocket man' Rokocoko continued his amazing try-scoring run with an opening try early in the game which set up the All Blacks win ... read more

National Nude Day - July 27th

We are currently warming up for National Nude Day on July 27. It is important that such a day of such national importance is celebrated alongside the opportunity for people to get their kit of and be as stupid as possible.
Bottom Bus will be joining in on the fun offering passengers the chance to share in this uniquely NZ event. ALTHOUGH this year it is actually International Nude Day so no excuse for anyone on this globe not to feel inspired to partake. But you can sure in Dunedin, down in the deep dark depths of southern New Zealand, the home to thousands of semi-sane, mostly-mad university students know as Scarfies, the day will be celebrated to the max.
Spectators are more than welcomed - this is a celebration of the skin but is not an exclusive event, not a nerdy perv but a good day out, mostly with clothes off.
For more information on National Nude Day check out the link or contact us on buttnaked@bottombus.co.nz.
