HAVE WE TAKEN HEED?
A monument stands at Bourke’s Pass, which leads through the hills in the Mackenzie country, on which is the following inscription:— “ To put on record that Michael John Bourke, a graduate “ of Dublin University and the first occupier of Raincliff “Station, entered that —known to the Maoris as “ Te Kopi Opihi— 1885. “ Oh, ye who enter the portals of the Mackenzie to found “ homes, take the word of a child of the misty gorges and plant forest trees for your lives! So shall your moun- “ tain facing and river flats be preserved to your “ children’s children and you evermore.”
