The Secrets of the Night: Annette Lees

Night time for Waitakere-based author Annette Lees, is magical and beguiling. It transforms the senses and the landscape. But most of us miss out on it most the time. It's when the nocturnal world comes alive with night birds, singing insects, dancing moths, native fish, all under a canopy of stars. And, says Annette, who's been an outdoor enthusiast since childhood, it's the perfect time to go tramping. She has, she says "a lifetime of night walking memories". After Dark - Walking into the Nights of Aotearoa is Annette's latest book.
