About

A comprehensive illustrated account of the community from Mt Algidus Station to the Rakaia Gorge, told by the people who have lived and worked in the Lake Coleridge Basin.

Lake Coleridge - clean, cold and very deep - lies in the foothills of the Southern Alps of New Zealand, some 100 km west of Christchurch.

This book traces the history of the lake and the land around it from the great geological upheavals of the distant past to the present day. At the heart of the story is the hydroelectric power station.

Families learned to live with the isolation, and with extremes of heat and cold, floods and gales, engineering triumphs and the tragedies of deaths. Ultimately, this is the fascinating story of the people who have lived and worked at the power station, the village and surrounding farmlands.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome images and illustrations, maps.
