High Country Stations of the Mackenzie off to parliament!

 Conservation Minister Maggie Barry opened the upgraded Hooker Track and the Blue Lakes Track at Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park on Friday and in a lovely combination of two of her portfolios, Conservation & Arts and Culture, she was also presented with a copy of the recently released book High Country Stations of the Mackenzie which celebrates the past and present of this amazing area.

The book is by local author Mary Hobbs and is published by Potton & Burton.
