Background Reading
There is a wealth of tramping guides and natural history topics that cover the far north in de-
tail, such as
A Field Guide to Auckland: Exploring the Region's Natural and Historic Herit-
age
(Ewen Cameron, ed). A worthy companion for visitors to the city, it features 150 inter-
esting sites and details their natural features such as rock formations, plants and animals, as
well as history. Another handy companion is
Day Walks of Northland and Greater Auckland
(Gavalas & Janssen) - just one in an eight-strong series of regional day-walking guides pub-
lished by Penguin Topics.
While you're in the bookshop, pick up a copy of
New Zealand Geographic
magazine.
This is a stellar bi-monthly, with well-written, in-depth features and stunning photography.
