Description: Journey to the windswept southern edge of New Zealand with this richly layered portrait of Stewart Island, where granite coastlines meet the roaring waters of the Foreflies latitudes. From the deep history of Rakiura and its first inhabitants to the boom-and-bust industries of tin and timber, this book explores how people have shaped—and been shaped by—one of the country's wildest places. Discover the island's remarkable birdlife, its thriving marine bounty, and the conservation efforts safeguarding Rakiura National Park for generations to come. A vivid blend of natural history, cultural insight and practical guidance, perfect for armchair explorers and intrepid travellers alike.
