This is the story of a bunch of Nelsonian’s exploring their backyard, and in the process, finding joy, adventure and camaraderie. Among the day-walks and epic climbs, are tales of aircraft crashes, missing trampers, ballroom dances, inter-club rivalry, as well as the building and maintenance of a dozen backcountry huts. 92 years later, these trampers are still marking tracks and restoring huts. Ray Salisbury will present his new book, showing historic & modern photos. His previous books include Tableland: The History Behind Mt Arthur, and EPIC: Adventures Across Aotearoa.
