Every day, RNZ brings you coverage from around the regions, the Pacific, and around the world.

This year - 2017 - was a big year.

Our team of regional reporters - based in Dunedin, Nelson, New Plymouth, Hamilton, Hawke's Bay and Whangarei, joined teams in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch to give you news, features, analysis, photographs and documentaries to tell the stories of Aotearoa.

We can't bring you every photograph from around the regions, but we can show you some of the best.

Here are a few photographic highlights from 2017.

And here's to 2018.
