A Wife on Gorge River
Life with New Zealand's remotest family in a follow-on from the bestselling A Life on Gorge River by Robert Long.In 2010, New Zealand met its remotest family, through the writing of Robert Long — aka Beansprout — and we were intrigued. Now Beansprout's wife, Catherine Stewart, tells her story, and answers many of our questions. Why did she decide to join him on the wild West Coast, two days' walk from the nearest road? Why and how did they raise their family there? Was it terrifying to be so far from medical help?
Coal and the Coast by Paul Maunder
Coal and the Coast: A reflection on the Pike River disaster, published by Canterbury University Press, is the work of Blackball writer Paul Maunder, who was among the first emergency responders to reach the mine within minutes of the initial explosion on 19 November 2010.
Maunder, who is an ambulance volunteer, kept a diary in the days after the event and, since then, has been talking to locals and reflecting on the issues involved, particularly on the implications the disaster may have for the Coast and the future of coalmining in the region.
