About

Memoirs of life in Fiordland and a definitive description of 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, and the site of a future metropolis. 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 and wrote of it with optimism, or pessimism; and of mountain, bush, lake and sea as he has come to know them, and of the wildlife he has observed.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images.
