The Coromandel - think sparkling waters, white sandy beaches, tree-lined coastal roads, and impressive native forest-clad valleys filled with treasures and relics from the past. Coromandel offers not only a glimpse into the past but also showcases the incredible beauty and attractions of a region renowned for its relaxed holiday lifestyle. A favourite summer destination for many New Zealanders, the Coromandel Peninsula plays host to millions of visitors throughout the year. Travel writer Ian Robinson takes the reader on a journey around the Coromandel Peninsula including Paeroa, Waihi and Karangahake Gorge. He stops at small towns, visits hotels and museums, explores bays and beaches, traces the history, comments on the present, and meets the people who live and work in this unique region. Charting adventure racing events, local festivals and cultural occasions around the area, this book provides a feast of local colour and experience with glorious photographs that capture the beauty and charm of the Coromandel.
