The Halfmen of O by Maurice Gee6/20/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() I was carrying a pack which was a third of my weight. The Christmas/New Year period is a notoriously unsettled weather period in New Zealand so it rained every day of our tramp except the first day, which is straight up hill.ĭue to wet tramping boots which hadn’t been properly broken in, I lost the skin off the soles of my feet. We started at the Collingwood end, where this story is set. The Heaphy Track is one of New Zealand’s great walks (and also the longest). ![]() Years after moving to Christchurch, over the New Year of 2001-2002, I walked the Heaphy Track with friends. During the 1980s my family lived 1 hour 20 minutes along the SH60, first in Motueka, later in Nelson. I was three years old when the first book came out. The real-world setting of The Halfmen of O is familiar to me. ![]()
