Rotorua is one of the North Island's most popular tourist destinations for both Kiwis and overseas visitors alike. In 2007 there were an estimated 2.9 million visitors. Here, in the first book of the 'Stories Behind the Scenery' series, Mike Hollman's stunning photographs highlight the unique beauty of Rotorua. Sue Hall's text gives the reader the 'stories behind the scenery': the unique geology, the thermal activity, the Maori mythology, the people of the region from the earliest inhabitants, the sports and activities.
