It is also, more commonly known, to have some of the most beautiful 'off-the-beaten-track' scenery in the world. This book lets the reader in on all those unusual things to do and places to see that don't appear in the regular tourist or travel guides.From Hawera's Elvis Presley Room to St Bathan's ghost, the mysterious Kaimanawa Wall to the perilous Road to Skippers, Patea's extensive lightbulb collection to the remote and delightful Guns Camp, Worth A Detour takes you on more quirky adventures than a traveller could wish for.Avoid the tour buses, the crowds, the tacky souvenirs, pop a copy of this guide in your glovebox, pack or suitcase and come see the real New Zealand.
