This revised reprint of Alice McKenzie's 1947 publication continues to be a very popular read. It is an historical account that conveys the reality of everyday life for those who ventured into this remote south-west corner of New Zealand. The terrible hardships that she and her fellow settlers endured, and the tenacity and stoicism with which they approached them, gives a real appreciation of the New Zealand pioneering spirit.
