The Iron-Bound Coast: Karekare in the Early Years
Author(s): Wallace Badham
The Iron-Bound Coast is a visually rich record of life in one of New Zealand's most spectacular coastal settings, along Auckland's rugged west coast. Written from first-hand experience, it brings to life the early years of Karekare and neighbouring farming and logging settlements, at a time when car and air travel were starting to end the isolation of these stunning locations.
