The Ruakituri valley is South East of Gisborne, and runs up to the Urewera National Park. The Ruakituri river emerges from the native bush of the park and tumbles through gulleys until it drops three levels over the spectacular 100 metre escarpment, and so down through the beautiful farming area that forms the Ruakituri Valley of this book. Tales from the Ruakituri Valley is a collection of stories telling of life in the valley and the characters and events that are part of Ruakituri, and indeed typical of most remote farming communities in New Zealand.
