This fine work examines the activities and experience of the early surveyors, who did much to explore and map the NZ hinterland and coastal regions. Their records provide many of the earliest accounts of Europeans in the interior and these form the basis of the book's fascinating text. The written records are enhanced by paintings, sketches, diagrams and plans made on their expeditions.
