Don Binney

In 2008 the famous painter Don Binney completed a suite of 24 absolutely charming coloured pencil drawings of Auckland's West Coast, from Huia to Te Henga (Bethells). They are evocative of the coast so many New Zealanders love and they are magnificent works in themselves. They are accompanied by text that takes the reader on an imaginary journey from Huia to Te Henga, commenting on the landmarks shown in each of the drawings. They also draw on Binney's extensive contact with this coast and with the Waitakeres in general: in early adulthood he tramped and camped throughout the area, he was a founder member of the Waitakere Ranges Protection Society and he has often used his art to underpin his conservation-activist work. The book is a beautiful keepsake - small and perfectly formed, as the drawings are. Deliberately inexpensive, it is accessible to all. Lovers of the west will find it completely enchanting.

Driving a 4WD vehicle makes it possible for people of all ages and levels of ability to experience the magic of New Zealand's back country. But it is not always easy to know just where you can go in your 4WD: as well as questions of safety and right of access about particular routes, it could be that you are simply not aware of their existence!
4WD North Island
gives detailed descriptions of 95 North Island roads and tracks, all of them open to the public but inaccessible to two-wheel drive vehicles.
Each is presented with its own map (and grid references to topographical maps) and an accompanying text describing the degree of difficulty, likely hazards and the sights to be seen along the way. The routes range in difficulty from those easy enough to be tackled by a 4WD car to real 'hard yakka' - tracks that are challenging enough for the most ardent enthusiast.
But before you head for the hills you need some basic ...

Day walks are one of the most popular recreational activities in New Zealand, enjoyed by both New Zealanders and overseas visitors alike.
