Images From A Limestone
Landscape,
by Andy Dennis and Craig Potton
(Potton, $65.) Dennis and Potton spin dramatic tales of the Paparoa’s unique karst landscape in words and images. The authors capture the essence of our newest national park in this large format art book. One can only wonder at the timidity of the decision makers who procrastinated for more than a decade over the park's creation, by which time its original size had been whittled down from encompassing most of the Paparoa range to an area less than a quarter that size. At 28,000 hectares, Paparoa becomes our 12th and smallest National Park. In time the adjacent wilderness conservation lands of the Otututu and Ohikanui, natural treasures such as the Waggon Creek limestone caves which are filled with moa skeletons and the well known Croesus and Moonlight tracks should all be added to the Park.
