This new title being published later this week enables the reader to enjoy stunning photographs that reveal the unique beauty of Rotorua and also learn the intriguing stories behind the scenery.
Rotorua is one the North Island’s most popular tourist destinations for both Kiwis and overseas visitors alike. In 2007 there were an estimated 2.9 million visitor arrivals.

This book, and the companion volume on Queenstown, represents great value at this price, these two titles are the best of their kind I have seen in a long while.

QUEENSTOWN: Stories Behind the Scenery
Sue Hall and Mike Hollman
RRP $19.99 – PB – Hodder Moa
Being published simultaneously with Rotorua this equally impressive title provides gorgeous photos of the Queenstown region and tells the stories behind such beautiful scenery.
Queenstown is the ‘adventure capital of New Zealand’ – and the district attracts up to 1.2 million visitors every year. Mike Hollman’s stunning photographs highlight the unique beauty of the region, and Sue Hall’s text provides the reader with information about the geology, history, people and the sports and activities on offer. The book covers the Queenstown and the surrounding lakes, Glenorchy, Kingston, Arrowtown, Kawarau River, Gibbston Valley and the Wanaka district.
This is not just another photographic book – it is also an insightful look at the stories behind the scenery. I hope the publishers have plans to do further titles in this series using this talented pair.
