New Zealand Journey (pocket size)

order quantity

NZ$ 20.00 each

Hardback

Author: Verena & Georg Popp

In Stock: 17

New Zealand Journey is a collection of stunning New Zealand photographs presenting a genuinely fresh and original view of the New Zealand landscape. With so many photographers at work in this country, this is a surprisingly difficult task, rarely achieved. Austrian photographers Georg Popp and Verena Hacker have managed this, through a determination to find new and interesting compositions of well-known places, and also through persistence, often waiting days for the right conditions to make a single image. This book covers all of New Zealand, focusing entirely on the natural world, and includes all of the much-visited scenic icons, including the Far North, Rotorua, Tongariro National Park, Taranaki, Abel Tasman National Park, the length of the South Island's West Coast, Fiordland, Stewart Island, The Catlins, Dunedin, Kaikoura and the Marlborough Sounds. Popp and Hackner's work is distinguished by their careful and expert use of large ... more

Dust to Gold : The inspiring story of Bendigo Station home of Shrek

order quantity

NZ$ 50.00 each

Paperback

Author: John Perriam (photography Stephen Jaquiery)

In Stock: 9

Shrek may be the star of Bendigo Station, but the back-story of the station is rich and fascinating, from its earliest days as the scene of New Zealand's richest quartz reef gold strike in the 1860s to its establishment as a 11,000 hectare sheep station producing many of New Zealand's highest quality top price Merino clips. As well as this it's now home to several leading Pinot Noir vineyards, public walkways, a historic reserve and fishing and game hunting.

None of this recent development would have come about if it weren't for the far-sighted, entrepreneurial and innovative owners, John and Heather Perriam. They took on Bendigo in the late 1970s after the Clyde Dam project forced them off the nearby family farm. They had spent several years in ultimately fruitless battles with bureaucracy, trying to stop the dam project from going ahead. Things weren't easy at Bendigo Station either. Chief among their problems was a rabbit ... more

Hunting & High Country : Philip Holden's classic New Zealand tales

order quantity

NZ$ 50.00 each

Paperback

Author: Philip Holden

In Stock: 3

Philip Holden was a great outdoorsman, whose writing explored the heart of rural New Zealand. When Philip passed away in 2005, he had written 57 books, many of them New Zealand classics. The Best of Philip Holden collects his most-loved writing, spanning his long career as a chronicler of our beautiful country. Philip Holden was born in Wales. He immigrated to New Zealand at the age of 21 after reading about positions available as a 'Government Hunter'. For seven years he became a professional hunter working in remote areas of the North and South Islands and the experiences gained over this time became the inspiration for his earlier works. His first book Pack and Rifle went on to become one of New Zealand's classic hunting yarns. Philip later gave up hunting in order to photograph and write about the land and its people. 'Station Country' is his most popular series from this time, telling the stories of the men and women who make a ... more

Paperback

Author: John Darkin

James Cook visited New Zealand three times, although twice only briefly. His early contacts with Maori didn't merely establish Britain's colonial credentials, they set the tone for future race relations between two different cultures. This is not a definitive, blow-by-blow account of all Cook's meetings and landings, but an edited highlight - a holiday history - of his tour of the North and South islands summarising the reasons why Cook was sent to this faraway land, what he discovered when he arrived and the interactions with people he encountered including the major historical personalities such as Banks, Tupaia and Solander.

Structured by region, the Cook's tour begins in Poverty Bay before heading around to cover Hawke's Bay, Cape Kidnappers, Anaura Bay, Tolaga Bay, Thames, the Bay of Plenty, Mercury Bay, the Bay of Islands, Doubtless Bay, North Cape, Taranaki/Mt Egmont, Cape Palliser, Cape Turnagain, Kaikoura, Banks Island, ... more
