"This handbook tells the story of Tongariro National Park, its outstanding natural features and the development that has taken place so that the Park will be preserved while it benefits man. The Park remains the trust of present day New Zealanders. The lesson of history is to look ahead, to plan and act wisely so that those who follow us will say we honoured that trust." Foreword by J S Maclean, Chairman of the Tongariro National Park Board.
