STEWART ISLAND : THE LAST REFUGE

Photography - Erwin Brinkmann Text - Neville Peat

"It is hard to speak of the scenery of Stewart Island without using a superabundance of superlatives".

So wrote pioneer botanist Leonard Cockayne in 1909. His opinion still holds today. Stewart Island has remained largely unchanged for thousands of years, thanks to geographic isolation and an inhospitable climate.

Nevile Peat's informative and entertaining text looks at the island's natural beauty - its landscape, flora and fauna - and history, both geological and human.

Erwin Brinkmann's magnificent photographs capture the unknown Stewart Island: the spectacular coastline, forest-fringed bays, lush vegetation, soaring peaks, and remote outer islands.
