The River - The Story Of The Waikato River - Sue Miles & Geoff Moon

The Waikato River is New Zealand's longest river, flowing from the glaciers on the eastern slopes of the country's highest volcano, Ruapehu. An extraordinary variety of scenery surrounds the river on its journey to the sea at the Waikato Heads on the west coast. There is snow and glacial ice, the desolate landscape of desert and tussock grasslands, beech forests, kowhai fringed lake shores, pine forests, rapids, gorges, geysers and boiling mud, wild meadows, tawa and rimu forest, trim pastures and great reed-filled marshes.Geoff Moon has captured the variety and the moods of the Waikato River on its journey today, and Sue Miles has explored not only the present but has delved into the past to find the historical links that effect the river and its environment as we see it now.
