Description
Paul Monin is Waiheke’s best-known historian, and his third history of Waiheke is the most comprehensive yet.
When Paul first visited Waiheke in 1973 he was drawn to its beauty and rich backstory, which has left so many traces on the island’s rolling landscape. There are more than forty pā sites on the island, and evidence of some of the earliest human habitation in Aotearoa.
This beautifully illustrated volume is the culmination of decades of research, and captures island life from waka to fast ferries.
