Landmarks of the Bay of Islands
Author(s): Marios Gavalas
This highly illustrated regional history examines the noted landmarks, architecture, natural features and personalities around the Bay of Islands, a popular tourist destination in Northland. This picturesque area, dotted with headlands, bays and offshore islands, was the stage for early meetings between Maori and non-Maori, and plays an important role in New Zealand's history. In each of the 16 chapters, Marios Gavalas takes a feature of the landscape and gives a lively narrative on its history, comparing archival documents and images with contemporary photography and interviews with local residents, business owners and historians. First published September 2008.
