Global properties of the hadronic final state in deep inelastic scattering events at HERA are investigated. The data are corrected for detector effects. Energy flows in both the laboratory frame and the hadronic centre of mass system, and energy-energy correlations in the laboratory frame are presented. Historically, the Ariadne colour dipole model provided the only satisfactory description of this data, hence making it a useful 'target' analysis for MC shower models.
