A Kind of Music
ROM the top of the Longwoods you could see Stewart Island hovering on the misty horizon. "Half Moon Bay" sounded like some place that the pirates of the early Chums used to visit, and a wish of mine was to go and visit this idyllic spot for myself. On the Whole, though, despite our short distance from the island, we heard comparatively little about it and I never made my way there. It became rather the subject for a daydream which leapt into full Technicolor when George Turner over 4YA described the island in the _ session "Stewart Island for Your Holiday." Waterfalls and wooded hills towered above me, each higher than those which went before, and the bush was alive with the song of our many birds. Dunedin has a flair for bringing New Zealand to New Zealanders in a way that refreshes the spirit. The scripts often do not have perfection or near perfection to commend them, but like the voice of the beloved to the lover they make a kind of music in the mind.
