At the turn of the twentieth century, many British regarded New Zealand as ‘the Britain of the South Seas’. Tourist promotions created an idealised impression of a country that was partly a civilised society, and partly somewhere to get away from the rat-race of The Big Smoke and explore the wild, untouched beauty of nature. The country also offered an insight into Te Ao Maori, an exotic drawcard for European travellers.
In 1902, the travel agency Thomas Cook published a guide for tourists seeking to explore the wilds of Aotearoa. This remarkable volume, New Zealand as a Tourist and Health Resort, provides a rare insight into this country’s Edwardian past, the burgeoning mass-market tourism industry and the exotification of Aotearoa and its original inhabitants, Maori.
Tracing the routes Edwardian tourists travelled, taking in attractions such as the Franz Josef Glacier, Huka Falls and the boiling mud pools of Ohinemutu, Touring Edwardian New Zealand reveals a fascinating portrait of a country shrugging off its colonial vestiges, and establishing a new identity.
Dr Paul Moon is Professor of History at the Faculty of Maori Development, Auckland University of Technology, where he has taught since 1993. He has a Bachelor of Arts degree, a Master of Philosophy degree, a Master of Arts degree, and a Doctor of Philosophy. In 2003, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society at University College, London. Moon is widely recognised for his study of the Treaty of Waitangi and the early period of Crown rule in New Zealand. Among his many published works, he has produced major biographies of political and Maori figures – including Governors William Hobson and Robert FitzRoy, and the Ngapuhi chief, Hone Heke – a trilogy of books covering New Zealand history from the 1820s to the 1840s, an examination of Maori cannibalism and a general history of New Zealand in the twentieth century.
