Here is a highly entertaining story of life  at one of the most beautiful southern lakes in New Zealand - Te Anau. For Lawson Burrows this was, literally, an anchorage when he settled there after WWII.

Within a short time he had established a busy tourist launch business on the lake. Succes became assure when he discovered the beautiful glow-worm caves, now a mecca for overseas visitors.

This is also the tale of rabbiters, musterers, hunters and fishermen, 'Hokanui whisky' and the countless character who helped give colour to the district.

This is a delightful memoir from one who was a 'character' himself.
