This updated version of the story of Rangitoto tells in text
both simple and more advanced, plus quite amazing illustrations that cover
every page, the story of the familiar Auckland landmark, its beginnings, the
importance of the kaka to the island and the human intervention. This later has
been both devastating but now most positive thanks to the Guardians of the Island
– The Department of Conservation with guidance from the tangata whenua Ngai Tai
and Ngati Paoa. The illustrations have been created by photographs and acrylic
painting that have been layered together in Adobe Photoshop.
