Kiwi Sportsmen Who Beat the Odds To Live Their Dream
Gregor Paul
It is well known that Kiwi sportsmen punch well above their weight in many different sporting arenas. What is perhaps less known is that some of them have had to battle extreme adversity to come back and live out their sporting dreams.
An extended stay in New Zealand determined the content of Gillian Orrell’s first book. New Boots in New Zealand is a humorous, first-hand account of walking the nine Great Walks of New Zealand, encompassing many additional facts, anecdotes and insights about New Zealand’s culture, history and peoples.

First published in November 1998, this book has become established as the guide to this much-loved region. It has now been updated, and is set to remain both the most beautiful and most useful book on the region. Tried and tested walks, interesting facts, history, nature, geography and geology, together with great stories of fierce inter-tribal warfare and the pioneering settlers, are all here, accompanied by a vast number of superb photographs.
