WILD IRISHMAN
Sir,-"Sundowner’s" description of the Upper Waitaki country takes me back to an early holiday from south Otago. That grisly plain beyond Duntroon and through the gorge at Kurow always remind me of Kipling’s pass of Jagai-"There’s rock to the left and rock to the right, and low lean thorn between." Kurow was the first foreign country I ever saw. The. matagouri (or taumatakuri) seems the symbol of a hungry country, but on his Mount Cook Station T. D. Burnett cultivated it affectionately and it responded generously.
