Ron Locker's knowledge of and affection for the Mahurangi River went back to the middle years of the twentieth century, nurtured by the beauty of the area -- some 40 kms north of Auckland, New Zealand -- and by his love of sailing. In this book he shares that knowledge and deepens it with the diligent research he undertook in the final years of his life. Not content with simply describing colonial life on the river, as previous histories have done, he traces its evolution from geologic time, then through the millennium of Māori occupation to the arrival of the European settlers in the mid-nineteenth century.
