		It was written in the Upper Rangitata district of the Canterbury Province (as it then was) of New Zealand, and appeared at Christchurch in The Press newspaper, 13th June, 1863.
		In passing, I may say that the opening chapters of Erewhon were also drawn from the Upper Rangitata district, with such modifications as I found convenient.
		A friend having called my attention to one of the first of these advertisements, and suggesting that it probably referred to a work of similar character to my own, I took Erewhon to a well-known firm of publishers on the 1st May 1871, and left it in their hands for consideration.

		The area to be flooded is 10 per cent covered in gorse, not mostly covered in gorse as some project proponents had incorrectly claimed, Ms van der Goes said.
		The gorse-covered areas were the result of former logging and mining operations and were now regenerating to native forest.

		Nevertheless, when another of the unborn came teasing him he yielded to its importunities and allowed himself to become the author of 'The Fair Haven', which is his pamphlet on the Resurrection, enlarged and preceded by a realistic memoir of the pseudonymous author, John Pickard Owen.
		I have no doubt that he wrote the memoir of John Pickard Owen with the idea of quieting Miss Savage and also as an experiment to ascertain whether he was likely to succeed with a novel.

		The land is suitable for moderately intensive livestock farming, but is prone to droughts, especially when the prevailing wind is from the northwest.

		A chunk of concrete pipe left over from the construction of the Rangitata diversion race 65 years ago has just been listed by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust as a category one historic place.
		The diversion race was built in the 1940s to bring much-needed water from the Rangitata River to the Mid Canterbury plains; it flows into the Rakaia River through the Highbank power station and in the winter helps generate electricity for the national grid.
		It is mostly an open channel but huge concrete pipes were used in the section near Surrey Hills, where engineers felt the land would be too unstable for an open channel and the race was piped underground.
