Forgot the alt: book cover of Fire and Ice: secrets, histories, mysteries and treasures of Tongariro National Park, by Hazel Philips.
I got a lot out of this collection of historical and geographical curiosities of Tongariro National Park. It’s a Pākeha history, although there is discussion of pre-European land use and tikanga.
