Join Gerard as he presents his latest book of social history stories about some of the quirky and largely untold characters associated with the Abel Tasman coast and its uplands: early settlers and park rangers; an island hermit and defiant squatters; graziers and a limestone miner.

“Hard-Case Heroes” is a highly readable and engaging book about a remarkable corner of New Zealand, written by a local with a love of the area and a nose for a good story. These largely untold and gritty stories from our social history will interest anyone who has experienced the Abel Tasman National Park, New Zealand’s smallest and most visited national park, arguably our most beautiful too.

Gerard will have books available to purchase: $40.00 cash or online.
