ABOUT
Travel memoir, a vivid, first-hand account of the author's personal adventures, trials, and tribulations while living, working, and wandering through early 20th-century New Zealand.
Elkington details his travels from urban hubs like Auckland into the rugged, untamed rural countryside and dense native bush. The narrative heavily features his interactions with local Māori tribes as well as European colonial settlers.
It captures the day-to-day realities of colonial life, including roughing it in the bush, navigating working-class life, and exploring famous geographic landmarks like Rotorua and Mount Eden
Illustrated throughout with monochrome plates/images.
