Tākaka Library: Wordfest Author Talk - Gerard Hindmarsh

Well-known local author Gerard Hindmarsh talks and presents a slide show about his latest book "Kahurangi Out West".

This book is the final in his trilogy of stories from the backcountry of Northwest Nelson. Subjects start with the Anaweka waka, and finish with the family stories of the graziers who live along Kahurangi’s wild western flank today. They also include stories of drovers, loggers, mill workers, top secret coast watchers, linesmen, King Tom of the Matakitaki, and the joy of traversing the formidable Dragon’s Teeth of the Douglas Range.

Shining through will be Gerard’s love of the area and nose for a good story.

Free to attend.
