The following morning we left for Gore, remaining there f<sr two nights and leaving for Queenstown on tho Friday, arriving at the latter town on New Year's Eve. On New Year's morning wo set out from Qucenstown and slept at Kurow that night. This was the most trying day of all, the Lindis Pass being in bad condition.
