Download or read book The Rex Nan Kivell Collection of Early New Zealand Pictures written by Rex Nan Kivell and published by . This book was released on 1953 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "... The Rex Nan Kivell Exhibition of Early New Zealand Pictures is an important artistic occasion ... the average quality is surprisingly high, especially when one realises that so many of the artists were also primarily surveyors, engineers, soldiers, or politicians. There is another aspect to this particular exhibition -- the accurate, factual representation makes it of historical importance. The life of those early years in New Zealand is graphically displayed in these pictures. The artists made many studies of the Maoris [sic] and their customs. The first settlement, the growth of townships, and the changing landscape are portrayed over the years ... The entire Nan Kivell Collection covers not only New Zealand and the Pacific, but also Australia ..." -- Foreword.
Download or read book The Catch written by Anna Clark and published by National Library of Australia. This book was released on 2017-10-01 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In every coastal town in Australia, there's a bait shop and a boat ramp, and, in garages around the country, fishing rods are strung up waiting for their next outing. Many of us have a special fishing spot, and families pass on tips from generation to generation and exchange fishy tales of amazing catches and near misses. Bringing her personal passion for throwing in a line, author Anna Clark celebrates the enduring pleasure of fishing in "The Catch: The Story of Fishing in Australia". This book charts the history of fishing, from the first known accounts of Indigenous fishing and early European encounters with Australia's waters to the latest fishing fads; from the introduction of trout and fly fishing to the challenges of balancing needs of commercial and recreational fishers. Fishing personality Rob Paxevanos, host of "Fishing Australia", says that "The Catch" is 'by far my best fishing read to date'.
