Rail

The Midland Railway between Christchurch and Greymouth is rightly acclaimed as the most spectacular in New Zealand and one of the great railway journeys of the world. Likewise, State Highway 73, which generally follows the same route, is one of the most spectacular roads in the country. This book provides brief histories and notes of interest on places along the way that can be seen from the train and the road, as well as practical information.
