It takes only minutes from the car to walk into the cathedral forest of whirinaki in the Urewera National Park, enjoy the squabbling gannet colony at Muriwai, near auckland, or wander through the surreal and stunning Otago landscape at Sutton Salt lake.

These 100 easy walks range from 20 minutes to three hours return and are suitable for people of all ages. easy to follow maps and directions are given, and the book is illustrated throughout with stunning photographs by the author and Nic Bishop.
