The Great Forest Land

The Great Forest Land.

There was no grass land there for the sheep farmer from tussock land; that was evident. The travellers climbed up a hillside and gazed through the trees over the unknown land, but as far as they could see there was nothing but forest, a succession of bush-covered hills, and not a blade of grass. Satisfied now that this was the coming overland route to Westland, the explorers returned to the pass, fording the torrents and climbing up their flax and kiekie ladder. By 21st March they were once more at the sheep station, where Arthur Dobson parted from Mr. Goldney and rode home to Christchurch.
