Every beach in Aotearoa contains a long and rich history. Yet if we think we know these places well, our own knowledge and experience can be compared with the size of a grain of sand in relation to the entire beach. This glorious beach has attracted some of New Zealand's finest painters - Albrecht, Binney, Blomfield, Buchanan and Siddell. Writers like Curnow and Stead; filmmakers like Jane Campion, Barry Barclay and Niki Caro. The landcape is both magical and powerful, a magnet for photographers. This book reveals and celebrates their vision as seen in their art. Above all, this is a book about the people who came to this dramatic setting, where the western edge of New Zealand ends in a series of cliffs and steepsided, narrow valleys.
Bob Harvey spent three decades building and running one of New Zealand's largest advertising agencies, which he sold in 1991. Since then he has been elected Mayor of Waitakere City three times. He is a member of the New Zealand Film Commission and is a former President of the New Zealand Labour Party. An active surf lifesaver, runner and swimmer, he has been a Karekare weekend resident for more than 40 years.
