Tongariro National Park - Guide 1975

Edited by A E Esler

First published in 1965, (this edition reprinted in 1975) this charming guide book to the Tongariro National Park was put together by the National Park Board of the time and includes black and white photographs and some wonderful botanical sketches from N M Adams. In good condition. Some light creases and slight fraying on spine. 

There are 3 lines of handwritten notes, from a prior owner, about tramping trails on the back page titled Notes. 

"This handbook tells the story of Tongariro National Park, its outstanding natural features and the development that has taken place so that the Park will be preserved while it benefits man. The Park remains the trust of present day New Zealanders. The lesson of history is to look ahead, to plan and act wisely so that those who follow us will say we honoured that trust." Foreword by J S Maclean, Chairman of the Tongariro National Park Board.
