      Few New Zealanders live out of sight of snow-capped ranges, or beyond the easy reach of vast lakes, swift clean rivers and bush fringed beaches. Such things are the commonplace of life in New Zealand.Two of New Zealand's leading photographers have travelled the length and breadth of the land to record the unspoiled beauty of a country which bears few of the scars of Man's encroachment. They have captured in brilliant colour the very essence of New Zealand, the lushness of the pastures, the grandeur of the mountains, the softness of the rainforest, the very crispness of the air.Rugged mountains, graceful lakes and snow-fed rivers * Bays, harbours, cliffs and coves * Cities in search of the best of two worlds * The wilderness tamed * Nature's cauldron - a geothermal wonderland

McNeill was the captain of the Honourable Hudson's Bay steam ship SS Beaver. William McNeill was born in Boston in 1803. At eleven years old, he chose a life at sea, and began gaining his experience to rise to the rank of master of a vessel, which required skill in mathematics and an understanding of the cosmos for navigation. William was a red-head, tall and heavy set. His temper was on a short fuse and, when threatened, he was aggressive in his action, impetuous, blusterous and a little given to exaggeration. He was not fond of waiting to see how things might turn out. William was probably first mate at fifteen years of age on the brigantine Paragon and a master mariner at twenty-one. By the time he joined the Hudson's Bay Company, he was a competent and experienced master mariner and fur trader. Follow his historical immigration to Canada to become one of the most feared and serviceable trading captains of the Honorable Hudson's Bay Co.
