The ultimate off-the-beaten-path travel guide to New Zealand�€™s unusual attractions and hidden places.

Unbeknown to many tourists (and some Kiwis), New Zealand is a land of quirky collectors, colorful characters and unusual 'backyard' projects. It is also commonly known as having some of the most beautiful 'off-the-beaten track' scenery in the world. This book lets the reader in on all those unusual things to do and places to see that don't appear in the regular tourist or travel guides. While some places are well known locally, they are more often than not bypassed in favor of the bigger draw cards. From Hawera's Elvis Presley Room and the Pyramids of Otago to Patea's extensive light bulb collection to the remote and delightful Guns Camp.
