The patterns of land use in the unoccupied mountain lands of Westland National Park
[First paragraphs...]
For the purposes of this paper, a definition of "mountain land" is necessary. It may be taken to be all that land in Westland National Park which lies east of the Alpine Fault (roughly all that lies east of the main highway) including the Fox and the Franz Josef Glacier valleys. All is unoccupied as far as permanent settlement is concerned.
