Coastal Otago is perfect for trampers: it offers a fascinating mix of scenery, from the spectacular cliffs and white-sand beaches where seals and penguins abound, to the steep ridges with stunning views and valleys of dense bush and clear streams. To the north is a flatter landscape rich in fossils and Maori drawings, and to the south are the tussock lands of the Lammerlaws and the Rock and Pillar range dotted with rock tors in bizarre shapes and, further south, the Catlins with their own unique mix of bush and waterfall, sea caverns and marine life. This Guide includes 65 walks, all within reach of Dunedin - old favourites and some new and exciting discoveries. It gives clear instructions on how to access each walk, the grade and approximate walking time, as well as interesting details about what you can see on the track - the wildlife, the vegetation, the history, the geology and archeology.
