Milford Superguide
by Philip Temple, 80pp, limp, Godwit/Random House, Auckland 2000, RRP $24.95. Whatever way you visit Milford, Philip Temple has it covered. This guide includes the Milford Track, the Milford Road, and the Sound
itself. It’s excellent: not just track notes for which the author has a long-established reputation, but cultural and historical notes, Maori and European history, botany, zoology, geology and that weather. If a topic is of interest to people who like the outdoors, Philip Temple provides a wellillustrated, informative page about it, whether it’s seals or keas, the various beech trees identified by leaves, or the process of mountain-building or ice erosion. The book is nicely designed and full of colour pictures: an armchair introduction; an evocative souvenir for afterwards.
