The all-time classic telling of life in the 1960s Hauraki Gulf Trailblazing writer Shirley Maddock’s journey to document the Hauraki Gulf and its people in 1964 was also a watershed moment for the story of New Zealand. It was a time when colonial innocence still lingered, and a way of life on the islands of the Gulf was a resourceful one, largely independent from the outside world. Across 3000 square kilometres of the Southern Pacific are some 40 islands – more if you count the gannet perches. Shirley Maddock
