COASTLINES OF NEW ZEALAND

COASTLINES OF NEW ZEALAND

Photography by Rob Suisted, text by Alison Dench

Published by New Holland, $19.99

Few New Zealanders live far from the coast, and many cherish the special nature of seaside communities. With over 15,000 kilometres of coastline there is a breath-taking range of locations and a rich scenic diversity. From the picturesque sandy beaches of the east, to the long drifts of black sand on the west, the visitor will also encounter evidence of the forces that have shaped our land, and ongoing nature of the upheavals caused by the continental plates which meet beneath New Zealand. 

Rob Suisted’s evocative photographs capture all of this, and Alison Dench’s well-researched introductions and descriptive captions referencing the history and current land use around the coast, add context and depth.

Perfect for sending to family and friends overseas both in terms of the stunning content and the light weight of the book.
