Gerard Hindmarsh: preserving stories of Nelson’s backcountry

From Saturday Morning, 11:30 am on 26 November 2022

Golden Bay freelance journalist and author Gerard Hindmarsh is back with his latest collection of stories, with a focus on Golden Bay’s West Coast and Kahurangi National Park. 

Written as a final in a trilogy, Kahurangi Out West documents tales, from early Māori conflicts to the family stories of the graziers who live along the district’s wild western flank today. 

Having spent the better part of a decade gathering first-hand accounts, the collection preserves unique stories from a rugged area that might otherwise have been lost.
