I recall writing many letters over the Years about the desire to go beyond the Hollyford Road into the wild untamed lands North of Milford Sound
I think I started around 1979 and ever since have been watching many people wanting to civilize the wilderness between Fiordland and South Westland
But as the World is constantly regretting the violation of wilderness for money yet there are many here that are ready to cash it in without hesitation.
The Thought that Wilderness is somehow of no value is perplexing, Especially as such places seem to define what it is to be a New Zealander. not economics.
That being said I could understand the desire to extend the Hollyford Road as far as the Highly Scenic shores of Lake Alabaster or maybe even Lake McKerrow
Though I would recommend it for be used for permitted or service vehicle and of course PUSHBIKES, sort of like the Wilmot Pass Road. That would give the Hollyford road a proper destination and take some pressure off Milford Sound.
If we in Southland really wants something nice for Southland that is actually in reach, maybe we could aim for this easy goal and let South Westland sort it’s own tourism problems out.
