West Coast Bed and Breakfast map Charles Heaphy
Major Charles Heaphy was an early explorer of New Zealand, and as resident Artist and Surveyor of The New Zealand Company, took part in many expeditions to explore the north west corner of the South Island.
With the Nelson region rapidly running out of usable farmland to support the new settlement, Heaphy was given the task of exploring land to the south west. In February 1846 he set off for the West Coast with another geologist and a couple of local Maori to explore.
Heaphy and his team tackled some of the wildest coastline imaginable, with numerous river crossings, bluffs and high tides, and impenetrable scrub and native bush, on their trip. |
