"A unique and whimsical insight into an early colonial Southland which has long been forgotten. This book is an historical account by an unnamed Tasmanian's visit to New Zealand and first published in Australia over 140 years ago. His adventures include places such as Bluff, Invercargill, Mataura, Tapanui, Lumsden, Otautau, Riverton and many other small towns and villages of Southland."--Publisher.
