Description
Although we are a nautical bookshop specialising in boating books we feel this and the one above are a necessary inclusion to our cruising section for New Zealand, if one is going to the area the historical information would be an invaluable read, it’s always helpful to have an insight to the evalution of an area, especially one so seemingly inhospitable. There are 300 photographs painting and maps, the great majority of which have never been published before. They include,
- the very earliest pictures of Milford Sound and the “City of Milford”
- the men who constructed the Milford Road and their various camps
- the students who cut the Grave-Talbot track before the road went through
- the early township of Te Anau and the early steamers on Lake Te Anau.
The chapter on the building of the Homer Tunnel is quite a read.
