Occupy Dunedin protesters are no longer camping out in the Octagon, taking down their tents today.

The local protest began in an effort to show solidarity with the international Occupy Wall Street movement in America, and had occupied the main centre of the city since the 15th of October, a total of 66 days.

Upon hearing news that the occupiers have moved on, Dunedin Mayor, Dave Cull, said "better late than never".
