Whispering Roads Trail
A Wellington to Napier Scandinavian Trail.
44pp, prepared by Dr. Kay Flavell for Friends of Mauriceville Inc.
The aim of the Trail is "to help you imagine the experiences and retrace the footsteps
of Scandinavian pioneer families from Denmark, Norway and Sweden who started their new
life in New Zealand in the 1870s at either end of the 70 Mile Bush. This mighty forest
stretched from north of Opaki, just north of Masterton, to the edge of the Takapau Plains."
It focuses on the first thirty years, and traces Scandinavian contributions to the
development of railways, roads and bridges in the 1870s and sawmills in the 1880s,
ending with the rise of cooperative dairy farming in the 1890s. Richly illustrated
with historic photographs from national and family collections. A heartbreaking and
heartwarming story that will interest people of all ages. Follow the trail through
this fascinating chapter of New Zealand's early history.
