ABOUT
Memoirs of life in Fiordland and Martins Bay - Hollyford area.
A little over a hundred years ago a remote southern bay on the west coast of New Zealand was being heralded as the natural port for the Australian trade for the whole of the South Island. The idea came to nothing, the settlement was abandoned and the land reverted to wilderness, but the area remains, in history and landscape, one of the most fascinating in New Zealand.
From a long acquaintance Philip Houghton tells of both - of the explorers who came and viewed the land, mountains, bush, lake and sea, and wildlife.
Includes a few colour images, with maps on end papers.

Excellent with wear/repairs/spine fading on dust jacket, and faint spots on end pages/page edges, otherwise clean. Images depict all need to know detail.
