Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book celebrates the great beauty of New Zealand's North Island, from the comfort of your home. We start with beautiful Whangarei, a town between the sea and rainforest, that the author fell in love with and that has since become a place of great business and culture. We then go on a scenic journey that takes us past some of the area's most astounding geographical features including waterfalls, an island of extinct volcanoes, and an area known for its beautiful and unusual limestone formations. The author also takes the time to explore some of the area's history, including sites of significant Maori and European battles that have shaped the islands' culture and landscape. Further afield, the author explores old goldmining towns and marvels at the vast dairy farms and orchards that speak to the diverse modern economy of the North Island. This book is a must-have for anyone who loves natural and human history, a perfect addition to the shelf of any armchair traveler, and a stunning reminder of the serene beauty that awaits you on the North Island of New Zealand.
