Background Reading
Golden Bay writer Gerald Hindmarsh has produced several highly readable social-history
books in recent years. In
Kahurangi Calling: Stories from the Backcountry of Northwest
Nelson,
he describes many of the natural wonders found in Kahurangi and tells the stories of
the fascinating characters who have lived there or travelled through, including explorers,
miners, graziers, eelers, hermits and trampers. His 2013 book,
Outsiders: Stories from the
Fringe of New Zealand Society,
continues in the same vein. Hindmarsh believes that a soci-
ety is lucky to have people such as those he mentions in his book, that these 'outsiders' offer
'an important counterbalance to the high-pressured, commercialised and urban world that
most of us inhabit'.
