About this title.

This manuscript languished at the bottom of the wardrobe for 25 years. It is an account of the journey across New Zealand, top to bottom, through the bush – a little under 3000kms in 168 days. It is a first draft written a few months after the trip in 1983/84. The route explored the possibility of a North-South Walkway through the country. The temptation to re-write it and tart it up with exciting expletives and dripping metaphors has been resisted. The written word follows this intrepid trek and relays the true characteristics of the journey – rough, raw, tenacious, and at times tedious. It is an authentic account interpreted from the pages of his logbook.
