A Charles Begg &

WINNER OF THE
HUBERT CHURCH
AWARD 1966
History brought to life
The authors have peopled the lonely shores of Dusky Bay, which
two hundred years ago had the largest European population in New
Zealand. Their researches range through its history, ecology, geology,
from the people who visited it, painted it and wrote about it in the
past, to those who are familiar with it today.
Now with new material
Fresh information about Thomas Moore, who built the first house
and the first boat in New Zealand at Dusky Bay; Von Haast and his
bird collectors Docherty and Wheeler, plus four new pages of illustrations.
"... a landmark of distinction."
THE NEW ZEALAND JOURNAL OF HISTORY
"This beautiful book is a joy to hold, to read, to browse in. Written
with loving care and enthusiasm ... it traces the history of one of
New Zealand's most historic sea inlets."
