Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When you begin looking, Auckland contains a surpassing number of hidden places where local folk walk, relax and exercise their dogs. Here is a guide to some of them. This book is not intended to be the last word on every charming picnic spot or interesting bush track in Auckland. Rather, it is a collection of ideas for fun, recreation and relaxation at some of the less well-known places to visit in and around this beautiful city - including both suggestions for day trips and the hidden suburban reserves that you can pop in and out of if you have a spare half hour. The emphasis is very much on free (or cheap) good times. Each and every one of these hidden gems has something special or significant that sets it apart from the rest, and, most importantly, all the locations are easily accessible to anyone with a car. Written in Diana Balham's trademark vivacious and quirky style, it is as entertaining as it is practical.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. New Zealand's historic places are tied intrinsically to the landscape, where evidence of the earliest settlements are clearly visible. In the latest title in his compact pictorial series, photographer Rob Suisted has recorded our most impressive and popular heritage sites. Early Maori pa and earthworks hug coastal and hilltop sites, old whaling stations and remnants from the exploits of gold miners lie in remote locations and fortifications from the New Zealand Wars, historic homesteads and museums recall the colonial period. Bridges, railways, wharves, churches and cemeteries, civic monuments and memorials and other sites of important historical or architectural significance are featured according to region, from north to south through the country. Dr Sven Schroeder has written an interesting text that places the photographs in a historical context, relating stories and incidents that bring the past to life.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Have you heard the phrase 'you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours?' New Zealand's plants, animals, fungi and other tiny organisms grew to live in, on and around each other, with very little interference from the rest of the world, since separating from Gondwana over 80 million years ago. This has created many unusual relationships in the wild - some friendly and some not so friendly! With highly readable text, fascinating facts and superb photographs by Rod Morris, Nicola Vallance explores the co-existence of New Zealand wildlife through one-sided friendships, pesky parasites and win-win relationships. From tuataras snuggling up to seabirds and rata trees that like to piggyback rimu trees, to worms that can take over the minds of wetas! When one part of an ecosystem disappears or fails, it can have cascading effects throughout the chain and even affect us. In Wild Buddies and Baddies, readers will discover how everything is connected, how relationships in the wild really work and our role in the environment - are humans 'baddies', 'buddies'', or both? The Series Wild Buddies and Baddies is the second title in 'Nic's New Zealand Nature' series for children.The first title in the series, Invaders: Animals from elsewhere that are causing trouble here, was also a collaboration between Nic and Rod.
