I met Peaches the author when doing forestry work in the Nelson Creek area and have a signed copy dated 1977 by me. She was an interesting lady and was interested in my work at the time which involved among other things finding and opening up miners pack tracks. Whilst working for Ces Clark and other Rangers we scoped and developed various North Westland gold fields walks.

Linda Jane Fernandez

I stayed with Eaton a night and my copy of this has vanished. My kin. BERNARD MAGEE d. about 1915.water race people. Our photos in 'the Grey' were put under the copper about 1960.Peaches hosted me at her place. NZ gazette has info about Nelson Creek water race. Nostalgia for me. Old Bernard Magee had 9 sons so plenty of staff to work for him. Descendents were o/seas with distinction in Ww1.
