The Neglected North Island: New Zealand's Other Half
()
About this ebook
2021 IPPY Awards Bronze medallist in Australia/New Zealand/Pacific Rim – Best Regional Non-Fiction
Also judged 'Best Antipodean Cultural Travel Book 2021' by Lux Life magazine (lux-review.com), The Neglected North Island describes New Zealand's other main island: the North Island. The North Island of New Zealand is often overlooked in favour of the mountain scenery of the South Island.
Yet it's in the North Island that most of New Zealand's Māori culture is to be found, as well as warm subtropical beauty and Polynesian volcanic landscapes not seen in the chilly south.
The chapters of The Neglected North Island are divided into eight road trips. Each chapter ends with links to relevant blog posts on my website, a-maverick.com, where the chapter content, and in particular the images in each chapter, can be seen in more detail and in greater number.
The Neglected North Island builds on the first part of A Maverick New Zealand Way, finalist in Travel at the International Book Awards, 2018.
