“They have found no evidence of a human presence here before AD 1250, and expert consensus puts arrival at around that time.”
Gordon McLauchlan, A Short History of New Zealand

“Royal Navy officer James Cook was despatched into the Pacific by the British government. He was to go to Tahiti to watch and measure the transit of Venus — one of many observations from around the world organised by the Royal Society to better measure the distance of the sun from the earth.”
Gordon McLauchlan, A Short History of New Zealand

“New Zealanders remain polite,hard-working, superficially cheerful, and unnervingly compliant and complaisant. And we remain dismissive of anyone who makes a fuss about anything”
