Driving through part of the South Island, near to Hanmer Springs, we travelled through a number of townships with the names of Yorkshire villages and towns. In the 1920s there was an increase in immigrants from the more industrial areas of northern England, especially Yorkshire. The local scenery was also reminiscent of the Yorkshire Dales and parts of Derbyshire so I guess it reminded them so much of the old country that they gave the old names to the new settlements.
