In his book The Clarence: People and Places of Waiau Toa, rural journalist Tim Fulton explores more than 200 kilometres of mountains, rivers and valleys bordering Canterbury and Marlborough.
Tim tells Kathryn his book is not exclusively a farming or a Pakeha settlement story, it also pays tribute to Maori settlement and ongoing connection to the area, as well as the people who have worked the rugged land for generations.

Mac McArthur's grandparents, John and Jeannie McArthur, are pictured at the original St James homestead with their family. Mac's grandparents are thought to have built the homestead in the mid-1880s. Portions of it may have been relocated from Lake Guyon and Stanley Vale in the process. The homestead burnt down in 1947. (PHOTO: Mac McArthur)
