Mt. Cook Hermitage—A Classic Resort

Mt. Cook Hermitage—A Classic Resort.

In 1887, the year of Queen Victoria's Jubilee, a circular was sent out from the Traffic Manager's Office, Dunedin, advising particulars of arrangements for “Through Booking to Mt. Cook.” Coaches, of course, ran in those days, and the railway journey from Dunedin was to Fairlie Creek; but it is interesting to note that throughout the forty-four years from 1887 up to the present time, a “through booking” arrangement by rail and road has been maintained for the convenience of travellers wishing to visit Mount Cook Hermitage.
