ABOUT
Signed by author
For centuries people have come to Tapu - 'a sacred or forbidden place' - drawn by its abundant resources, its wild rugged beauty and its advantageous position on the Coromandel Peninsula. Like many small communities on the peninsula, it has a long, sometimes turbulent history of occupation. Man has irrevocably changed the balance of the environment - in just 500 years Tapu has undergone a dramatic transformation from primeval kauri forest to marginal farms, houses, roads and wilding pines.
This is the story of that process - a celebration of what once was, and a new era of environmental awareness.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images.
