The Catlins and the Southern Scenic Route
by Neville Peat, 64pp, Otago University Press1998, RRP$19.95.
This is New Zealand’s farthest south on the mainland, an oftforgotten corner where continuing land clearance has not quite overcome the wilderness. After introducing the natural and scenic values of this exposed coast, the author follows the scenic route from Dunedin (the coast road turns off at Balclutha) and edges round the Catlins to Invercargill (and also outlines the Southland coast, to Te Anau). With its spectacular coastline, bush walks and lonely beaches, the Catlins still has the feel of pioneering days. Rent the Society’s lodge at Lenz Reserve, and take this book along to enjoy.
