Abstract

Public access to the coast, lakes, rivers and streams for all citizens of New Zealand has been a feature of New Zealand land law and practice from the earliest colonial times. The ideal has proved to be the vital thing rather than some of the imperfect attempts which have been made to express it in practice and in law. The foresight of many of the early administrators and the genuine efforts of their successors have kept the ideal alive – indeed it may have become larger in life than it is at law.
