THE SCENERY
Is magnificent. At the south, and west coasts of the Island, the weird appearance of the jagged mountains— the fantastio fissures in the bare rocky islands and coast, worn by the turbulent seas to which they are exposed — the lofty cones of bare granite — the singular color of the rocks abutting on the ocean, unite in conferring a degree of grandeur to the tableau such as I have not seen equalled in any part of New Zealand,— while the, natural beauty of the landscape in Paterson- Inlet and Port Pegasus is equal to that of the Sydney Harbor, setting on one side of course the artificial adjuncts of cultivated shores and ornamental villas. . .-.■-■ 7 |
