Historic Places of New Zealand

Description

New Zealand’s historic places are tied intrinsically to the landscape, where evidence of the earliest settlements are clearly visible. Historic Places of New Zealand, photographer Rob Suisted has recorded our most impressive and popular heritage sites.

Early Māori pa and earthworks hug coastal and hilltop sites. Old whaling stations and remnants from the exploits of gold miners lie in remote locations and fortifications from the New Zealand Wars. Historic homesteads and museums recall the colonial period.

Sites of important historical or architectural significance are featured according to region, from north to south through the country.
