letter to the editor:
Posted to the Otago Daily Times Dunedin 3rd September 2012
I just spent this last Weekend at Murray Gun’s old Camp in the Hollyford Valley, Fiordland with The Te Anau Scouts,
It is great to see the Trust that runs it has made it comfortable for groups with a new Common Room / Kitchen Facility
as well as preserving the camp as a living museum, It is hard to believe that in the past the Park authorities wished to demolish it.
Now it is a link to the past of Pack Horse Pioneers, 1930s Works Schemes, Deer hunters and The last great Wilderness where the road from civilisation ends in primordial Jurassic like Forest.
The Kids loved the old Barry Crump Ambience and humorous touches from a pre sanitized-OSH era when life was lived by ones own wits.
And this has not gone un-noticed by special tour groups.
