Kennedy Warne, co-founder of New Zealand Geographic magazine and contributor to National Geographic, often writes about the sea, including the book Let Them Eat Shrimp: The Tragic Disappearance of the Rainforests of the Sea. His most recent books, however, are land-based: Tuhoe: Portrait of a Nation and View From the Road, a collaboration with photographer Arno Gasteiger. He has also produced two children's books with Northland illustrator Heather Hunt: Cuckoo and the Warbler and It's My Egg (and you can't have it!). Once a fortnight Warne speaks about the outdoors, nature and adventure on RNZ's morning programme, Nine to Noon, in a slot entitled 'Off the Beaten Track'
