LANDMARKS OF FIORDLAND, SOUTHLAND & STEWART ISLAND
Past & Present
Marios Gavalas Reed $30

The author has more than a dozen books to his credit, all published by Reed Publishing, and all featuring days walks of various parts of New Zealand.
Now he had produced his biggest work to date, and illustrated regional history of the southern parts of New Zealand. He ranges from the early Maori & European settlers, the sealers and whalers right through to the native bird populations brought back from the edge of extinction.
Also included are directions to museums, historic sites and many other places of interest from Dusky Sound, the Manapouri power station and the Milford Track to the Catlins River Branch Railway.
An indispensable guide for any visitor to the deep south and a great reference work for locals.
