Worth a detour: North Island hidden places and unusual destinations off the beaten track./ Peter Janssen.

"Travel writer Peter Janssen has travelled extensively
around the North and South Island and here he shares
special quirky experiences and sublime scenery that are
known to locals but are most often bypassed by visitors
heading to better-known attractions. Avoid the mass of
tourists and stroll empty beaches, experience unusual
sights and adventures and uncover the other side of New
Zealand's history and landscape with this comprehensive
guidebook. Divided into geographic areas of the North and
South Island, each entry includes descriptions, history,
directions, addresses and contact phone numbers where
relevant. Colour sections of photographs bring the text to
life and location maps help plan your itinerary."--
