Discover New Zealand

Ray Joyce

Few countries on earth can match New Zealand for variety of landscape. From the mysterious and mist-enshrouded Cape Reinga famed in Maori legend to the rocky West Coast and the soaring panorama of Mount Cook, the country offers an enormous diversity of scenic beauty within a small and comparatively accessible area. Discover New Zealand captivatingly demonstrates the myriad beauties of this country. The views it shows are unique photographer Ray Joyce spent months travelling all over New Zealand in a light aircraft and filming from the air. The results are spectacular. There are snow-capped peaks, wild and rocky areas that have hitherto been seen only by the hardiest trampers and explorers, river heads, sandy beaches, trout streams-as well as the towns, cities and other places in which the effects of human habitation are most apparent. Bill Saunders of Television New Zealand has prepared a text that crisply counterpoints the superb photographs. A four-part television documentary series is being release to complement this text. Both book and series give a fresh and delightful view of one of the world's most beautiful countries.
