520			_a"The media of the day reported in great detail, obeservations and happenings as written by individuals whilst travelling through the area which is now known as Fiordland. The tenacity and fortitude of the pioneers has to be admired, the story of the finding of William Quill's body is a typical example. The book also shows how the now almost extinct Kakapo was the main source of food until rabbits and possum were introduced. It tells of the great determination to form a road from the Wakatipu area to Milford Sound, Martins Bay and Jacksons Bay, the finding of the Sutherlands Falls, Mckinnon Pass and the Homer Saddle. Today people are surprised to learn of an 11-roomed hotel at Milford Sound 60 years before you could drive there. This fact alone gives an idea as how popular the area was back in those days."--Back cover.
