What would move you to ditch your life and take off into the wild for six months? For Melbourne woman Laura Waters, it took the implosion of a toxic relationship and a crippling bout of anxiety. Armed with a compass, a paper map and as much food as she could carry, she set out to walk the untamed landscapes of New Zealand’s Te Araroa track, 3000 kilometres of raw, wild, mountainous trail winding from the top of the North Island to the frosty tip of the South Island. But when her walking partner dropped out on the first day, she was faced with a choice: abandon the journey and retreat to the safety of home, or throw caution to the wind and continue on – alone. She chose to walk on. For six months, she battled not only treacherous mountain ridges and river crossings, but also the demons of self-doubt and anxiety, and the shadow of an emotionally abusive relationship. At the end of Te Araroa (‘the long pathway’, as it is translated from Maori) it was the hardearned insights into mental health, emotional wellbeing and fulfilling relationships – with others as well as with herself – that were Laura’s greatest accomplishments. She emerged ‘rewilded’, and it transformed her life.

There is an extraordinary range of landscape and walking challenges in 202 Great Walks. You can saunter by a steaming Rotorua lake, through limestone archways in the King Country, or along an historic Maori trail to the top of the Kaimai Ranges. There is an island sanctuary at Stewart Island, or goldminers' tunnels in the Coromandel. For something a little different, try the winding stroll that explores Wellington's downtown, or in the deep south a beach walk explores a lonely Catlins coast, troubled by the ruins of a gold dredge and the strange wobble of quicksand. There are all types of walks for all types of people: from those that suit families, to those that are real leg-stretchers, walking times range from 1–2 hours to 5–6 hours, but all longer walks have a shorter 1–2 hour turn-around option. Every walk has notes on track conditions, walking time and distance, and access and facilities, along with a topographical map. First published in 2003 and now into its third edition, 202 Great Walks really is the most affordable, reliable and comprehensive guide to New Zealand's outdoors.

New Zealand is blessed with wild places, many right under our noses. Most are only a short distance from the more conventional tourist centres and include rain forests, estuaries, granite gorges, beaches and windswept coasts, tussock plains, mangrove swamps and hot springs. This new, updated edition of Wild Walks, combines walks from both the North and South Island. Each walk describes a landscape feature, wildlife habitat or plant which makes it unique. Wild Walks is the perfect book for the tourist or those on holiday with a few hours to spare, and for those who like to put on their walking shoes and take a short stroll into the unspoilt magic of wilderness. Native wildlife abounds in these ancient and untouched spots: little blue penguins, sealions, dolphins, kakas, keas, kiwis, kereru, albatrosses a the list goes on. Many are unique to the habitat in which you will see them. The walks described range from 15 minutes to about 4 hours (return) and are suitable for people of all ages. Location maps and concise directions make them easy to find and follow. Keep Wild Walks in the glove department of your car: it will become your passport to New Zealand's special wild places.

As the title suggests, they cover 60 relatively easy walks in the North Island with the emphasis on visiting places with natural history values or, in some cases, with interesting historical stories to tell. Each walk is illustrated with a simple but clear map, along with an introductory section providing directions to the beginning of the walk, estimated walking times and points of interest along the way. Mark Pickering writes in a very interesting and accessible way and he provides many side bars discussing a particular species, features of the landscape or stories associated with the particular place - some of them delightfully quirky. (A random sample: 'Kea: A loveable, laughing, crying, clownish, cruel and unforgettable bird, the mountain parrot - sheep killer and tourist tormenter - puts on a show while its mates nip behind and rip bits off windscreen-wipers and anything else their inquisitive beaks can get around.') The books are particularly popular with tourists, many of whom probably never take any of the walks but who are attracted by the books' compact size and great colour photographs (many of them by Nic Bishop, a prize-winning nature photographer), which together make them a wonderful souvenir of the 'real' New Zealand.

"If you are interested in taking children tramping, or are a beginning tramper yourself, then Tramping with children is a great book to read before you lace up your boots. Part One features useful hints and information for tramping with children, including planning your trip, the unwritten rules for staying in huts, what to take with you, what to wear, and ideas for meal planning. It also covers helpful tips for tramping safely and dealing with emergency situations. Part Two has over thirty suggestions for South Island tramping tracks. These range from beginning to medium tracks and each section also explains why the tramp is suitable for children, and some also give a brief history of the track. Colour photographs show what many of the tracks and huts are like, and illustrate how children are quite capable of walking long distances.
