Summary: This new volume of stories from the northwest Nelson backcountry is a compelling blend of natural and social history. An area of ecological complexity, Kahurangi National Park has also generated a human history. Gerard Hindmarsh tells the stories of fascinating characters who have travelled and lived here, including early explorers, goldminers, flying cray fishers, forest rangers, seamen, trampers and other adventurers.
