Born at the end of the 1930s depression, New Zealander John Broomfield began a lifetime of travels as an infant that took him to every corner of his rugged homeland and ultimately around the world.

Readers of his first memoir, Carried on Great Winds, admire his capacity to combine radical political action and adventurous travel with an outstanding career in research, teaching and academic administration. In his second memoir, Rounding Tawero Point, we meet John’s ambitious family and the exceptional people who shaped his youth in New Zealand.

From an early age, he was encouraged to be intellectually adventurous and a leader. This made India a large part of his life from his mid-twenties onward, and gave him a distinctive voice in the movement for ecological preservation. John’s refusal to shut the door on unusual options led to his decision to return to New Zealand at the age 59 to live on a remote forested property in the Marlborough Sounds. This was his base for 20 years in teaching shamanic workshops and leading study tours to India, Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand.
