Walking the Hauraki Gulf
By Sue Hall, 120pp limpbound, New Holland Publishers, RRP$24.95. Not exactly the islands of the gulf, though Kawau, Rangitoto and Waiheke get a mention. This book is more a walking guide to the mainland shores of the gulf, so is more accurately described by its sub-title ‘20 coastal walks in and around Auckland’. That begins in
the north at Mangawhai, a couple of hours’ drive north on a good day, to regional parks on the shores of the Firth of Thames to the south of the city. In between there are cliff walks and beach walks, including some suburban shores and the east coast regional parks. Sue Hall does pencil drawings of the wildlife and major features of each walk, and provides a sketch map and indication of track conditions. Coastal walking proves an interesting way to enjoy nature close to town.
