Major issues affecting the Fiordland tramping industry since 1952, using the Routeburn, Hollyford and Milford tracks as case studies.
This dissertation examines the major issues affecting the tramping industry since 1952. In order to highlight these issues three tracks, the Milford, Hollyford and Routeburn, have been singled out for closer analysis. Their histories, outlined in chapter one, highlight the differing visions people had for the development of the fiordland region. While the mineral, timber and farming potential of the Milford and Routeburn areas was soon discredited, the Hollyford Valley continued to be used for farming up to the 1930s. During the early half of the twentieth century tourism was seen by ‘conservationists’ as an ally of the environmental lobby which campaigned to have the unique fiords and native environment protected.
