Pioneers of Martins Bay

By Mrs Peter Mackenzie

This is the story of one on New Zealand's most remote settlements. Martin's Bay is 15 miles north of Milford Sound and around 200 miles from Hokitika. Alice Mackenzie tells how 'the lure of adventure' made her father leave his job as a journalist in Hokitika and take the family to a settlement at the remote Jacksons Bay. The life that followed was tough and terrifying.

This is a really interesting account of a family and the times.
