Wild Dunedin

Description

Dunedin city and its environs are home to an exciting range of habitats and landscapes, of plants, animals, birds, insects, and geological features. In Wild Dunedin you will find fascinating details of the region's most popular attractions, including the Yellow-eyed penguin and Royal albatross colonies on the Otago Peninsula, and discover many other features of New Zealand's wildlife capital. Other features of the area covered in the book are:

• the beautiful Kaikawaka forest on the Leith saddle
• an ancient creature in Caversham, of tremendous interest to scientists worldwide
• the New Zealand falcon in its Taieri Gorge home
• Mt Watkin, near Waikouaiti
• the rich wetlands of the Waihola/Waipori lakes area
• the Taierei, New Zealand's third longest river
• the evidence that Otago's climate was once more tropical than it is today
• an artist's impression of Rakiriri, the volcano whose remnants form Otago Harbour and the surrounding hills.

With almost 200 full colour photographs, illustrations by Chris Gaskin, and useful maps, Wild Dunedin explores every corner of the wider city region, from the ocean to the high alpine zone of inland ranges.
