Auckland

(New Zealand)

Pacific-lapped Auckland is perfect for water babies.

This waterside city has a strong pulse and a nautical twinkle in its eye. Its location on a thin stretch of the North Island, sandwiched between the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea, is complemented by the lush subtropical forests of nearby hills and the volcanic terrains of nearby islands.

With its spectacular harbour and bridge, New Zealand's largest city ranks with the best and its districts weave their way around a variety of bays ideal for swimming, water sports and particularly yachting - hence the nickname 'City of Sails'.

Books

	A Field Guide to Auckland: Exploring the Region's Natural and Historic Heritage (Ewen Cameron, Bruce Hayward & Graeme Murdoch)

	An excellent guide, virtually indispensable for anyone who wants to explore Auckland's natural and historic treasures.

	Untamed Coast (Bob Harvey)

	Another excellent book about Auckland's wild west coast and its hinterland. It has maps, photos, plenty of information on walks in the area, interesting historical background and lots of anecdotes.

	On the Road: K Rd (Kevin Kearns)

	A close-up look at Auckland's most colourful street. There's a parade of characters - the stripper, the saint, the con, the gypsy and so on.

	Pacific New Zealand (Graeme Lay)

	Not purely about Auckland, but because Auckland has such a large Pacific Island population the city gets much coverage. This book provides an insight into Pacific Island customs, art and lifestyles.

	Auckland: A Portrait (Ralph Talmont)

	A photographic coffee-table book showing Auckland in all its guises.

	Plumb (Maurice Gee)

	An award-winning first-person account of the life and fortunes of George Plumb (lawyer-turned-parson-turned-protestor) and his descendants.
