Walks in the Arrow District Summary: A town born of gold, Arrowtown has retained much of its goldfields character and is one of New Zealand's most picturesque places. Less well known are the tussock-covered hills and gullies north of the town, where the visitor can ramble for miles, exploring gold mining sites and relics. Julie Bradshaw introduces the town, its history and natural history, and gives detailed descriptions of walks, short and long. (Back cover)
