Hokitika’s it km ah k aiikk V . c.w. ‘•1 have not yet alluded to the line and extensive panoramic view’, visible from the sea beach at Hokitika, and which stretches from the mountains in the north to the Hooker range m t'.e south. A chain of wooded mountains situated between the Totara and M'anganui rivers, tluir outrunning spurs nearly reaching the sea. are prominent iii the south. They are about 2foo or 3000 feet high, wooded to the summit, and form a very interesting feature in the landscape. Above tl em rise, conspicuously, the highest summits of the Southern Alps; Mount Beaumont, Mount de la Beebe, Mount Ha.idinger, Mount Tasman, Mount Cook, Mount Stokes and the Moorhouse range. In very clear weather, other snowy mountains show above xlie horizon of the son, but often so family that they very often may easily be mistaken' or white clouds.”—Sir Julius von Hoast, written in 1865.
