 The following Westland poem aptly describes our impressions of the New Zealand mountains.
-RAIN
+**Rain**
-It rained and rained and rained
+It rained and rained and rained\\
+The average fall was well maintained\\
+And when the tracks were simply bogs\\
+It started raining cats and dogs\\
+After a drought of half an hour\\
+We had a most refreshing shower\\
+And then most curious thing of all\\
+A gentle rain began to fall\\
+Next day but one was fairly dry\\
+Save for one deluge from the sky\\
+Which wetted the party to the skin\\
+And then at last the Rain set in\\

 This poem was published in The Sydney Bushwalker Sep. 1986 and in the 70th Anniversary edition of the Sydney Bushwalker. However since the author sent it in, and since Sydney has had more than it's fair share of rain, why not publish it again. Editor.
