Fiordland

By David Hallet & Yvonne Martin (Penguin, RRP $60)

Fiordland, New Zealand's Untouched Wilderness, is photographer Hallet and journalist Martin's first book together and a record of all the little hidden things, tomtits, moreporks and crested penguins that you don't usually see as you flit by in a bus, and also all the big things that take your breath away. 

The photos are gorgeous. Martin also includes interesting  historical  detail on the discovery of the Milford  Track and personal accounts of their trekking  through this amazing wilderness. 

I think it would be a must for anyone who has ever visited the region and wants to treasure the  memory.
