“What do we know of England, who only England know,” says the poet, but apparently the sentiment is -equally applicable to New Zealand. A tourist in North Canterbury recently took a side road, trying to reach the sea, and asked the way of an elderly man he happened to meet. Though the station the man worked on fronted the sea, he had never been past the immediate precincts of the homestead, in spite of having been there for several years. In the 78 years of his life he had never been south of Akaroa or north of Omihi, which is less than 50 miles north of Christchurch.
