Staff Favourites - escape to the bush

As summer beckons, so do the great outdoors.  Escape to the bush and the mountains with these ePukapuka eBooks, all set in New Zealand. 

A Life on Gorge River by Robert Long
Can you imagine living self sufficiently in complete isolation, in a hut two day's walk from Haast in South Westland, visiting the outside world twice a year?  Robert Long and his family have achieved this. 

Arawata Bill by Ian Dougherty
William O'Leary, known as Arawata Bill, was a bushman and prospector, who became a legend after his death in 1947.  Did he find the lost ruby mine in the Red Hill area in South Westland? 

New Boots in New Zealand by Gillian Orrell
On her first visit to our country and never having tramped in our bush before, accountant Gillian Orrell decided to tackle solo the nine Great Walks of New Zealand.  A life changing adventure told with humor. 

A day by day account covering all nine : Milford, Routeburn, Abel Tasman, Kepler, Heaphy, Whanganui River, Lake Waikaremoana, Tongariro and Rakiura.
