Download or read book Day Walks of Greater Auckland written by Marios Gavalas and published by Raupo. This book was released on 2003-10 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Auckland offers an incredibly wide range of landscape experiences for the walker. This book covers the greater Auckland area, from Goat Island in the north to the Hunua Ranges in the south. Most walks are within an hour's drive of downtown Auckland. Choose from nature walks in an urban setting (a stroll through Cornwall Park or doing the Narrowneck Coastal Walk), or natural settings away from the city (the Dome Forest Walkway or one of the walks on Tiritiri Matangi Island). Each walk has been graded and timed, and the entries contain information on access, track conditions and points of interest to watch out for. Every track has been walked by Peter or Marios, both of whom have extensive walking and tramping experience. This book is an essential volume for anyone wishing to explore Auckland's natural landscape.
