Tourist trade
Sir,—Mr W. Condon’s letter struck a note. Descriptions of hospitality shown by the Grahams mark that family out for tribute. Often guests were cut off by weather, needing fine hosts to relieve the pressure of the same people being left in each other's company week after week. Now. sadly, the days are gone when it was an easy walk on to the glacier itself. Fortunately this has spurred the National Park staff to develop beautiful tracks and a fine nature . programme, which are more than ample reward for tourists enticed to Franz Josef by the legend of what once was. The glaciers are pale shadows of their former selves. But glorious views and wonderful treasures yielded by wild beach and deep bush, left our party amazed we had been so “un-seeing” on previous trips. And a loud “bravo” to the Grahams of today — the pioneer spirits starting up raft trips and wilderness treks—Yours, etc., C. S. WRIGHT. February 15, 1982.
