The Catlins

In New Zealand's out-of-the-way corner (south-east) of the South Island, The Catlins is gaining the recognition it deserves as a beautiful, relatively unspoiled area with many natural attractions, including that rare thing on the New Zealand's east coast, the native forest. Newly updated, this revised edition of Neville Peat's classic guidebook introduces the history, geology, and attractions of the region - its flora, wildlife, bush walks, caves, and waterfalls - before tracing the journey along the stunning Southern Scenic Route linking Otago, Southland, and Fiordland.
