The Gentle Giants : A Step Back in Time to Summer 1938 : A Day Spent in the New Zealand Native Bush With a Team of Working Bullocks - SIGNED (Freight charge may apply) by Gordon MacKenzie

$20.00 AUD

Category: SECONDHAND BOOKS

Gordon transports the reader to a summers day in 1938 to spend time in New Zealands native bush with a team of working bullocks and the bushmen who worked them. The book is as much Gordons story as it is a glimpse into New Zealands rich and sometimes colourful history.The Gentle Giants is a fascinating read which will appeal to people of any age who are  interested in learning more about an  important time in New Zealand's history when the working bullocks of the bush were king.After being introduced to the Hokianga, its mysteries, mystique and  Kupe’s relationship to the harbour, readers are transported back in time, to just before dawn on a February morning in 1938. Since you, the reader, will now be in spirit form, you will be listening to Gordon’s somewhat aged voice, and will be guided by him as he retraces the very same steps he had taken so many times so long ago over a period of his youth. He is however still very much alive and well to this day to tell of this great adventure: something which he has done to great effect in the book, using his own manner of speaking. Telling his story must surely be a rare achievement indeed as the men who had such experiences must certainly be very few.   Now surrounded by sights, sounds and aromas quite unfamiliar to you, we readers experience many awe inspiring sights: some hair raising as we encounter Taipo: some quite ordinary as they happen on this day in 1938. Gordon will explain many matters of general interest such as aspects of the Maori language and culture; trees and birds that have lived  here since almost the beginning of time; the men and of course the actions of the mighty cattle beasts and their driver whose company we are in, for a good part of this very long day.  These are experiences few, if any of you, would have ever had and certainly will never ever have again.     We will not be seen or heard as we follow the bullock team’s working day - only Old Mother Bush and Taipo know we are here. Above all we will be forever conscious of the underlying rumble, rumble of eighty hooves as they hit the hard ground. Testimonials. ...Show more

Category: SECONDHAND BOOKS

Three men set out on the adventure of a lifetime when they decided to raft down the Amazon from its source high in the Andes to its mouth on the Atlantic coast of South America. The journey from source to sea had only ever been completed by three people before them, all of them assisted by first-class t raining, state of the art equipment and six figure budgets. Ben Kozel from Australia, Colin Angus from Canada and Scott Borthwick from South Africa - all in their mid-twenties - were attempting the epic journey with fourteen thousand Australian dollars between them, some second-hand camping gear, a couple of weeks training in white water rafting and large dose of blind optimism.
