This consists of exploring and describing in turn the headwaters of each of the three main rivers--the Waitaki, the Clutha and Waiau--fed by the great lakes. This grouping has also allowed him to portray the distinctive character of man's inroads upon each headwaters area, with appropriate passages of a history involving high-country sheep farming, gold digging and mining, early exploration west to the fiords, deer shooting and hydro-power and tourist development."
