Description

Unique Kaikoura: Whales, Rails and Tales by Harold J. Anderson. 'The author has assembled a large collection of old photographs covering the construction of the Kaikoura rail link in the 1940s. He shares with us work methods and work experiences of the day plus the discovery of Maori artifacts, some of which date back 500 years. The reappearance of seal colonies, abundance of crayfish, a tuatara and, of course, the whales all of which have now made Kaikoura into one of the leading tourist attractions of New Zealand. To complete Unique Kaikoura: Whales, Rails and Tales, a full list of the 2,100 men and women who worked on the line construction from 1936-1945 is included.' The book has suffered from a drop which has has resulted in a crumpled 25mm edge of the covers but the binding remains tight and pages bright.
