Karitane, New Zealand Twelve hundred miles across the Tasman Sea from Tasmania is the coastal town of Karitane, on South Island, New Zealand. Established as a whaling station in the early 1800s, Karitane (pronounced ‘ka-ruh-tahnee’) is home to barely three hundred people. Nevertheless, at least one of the tiny town’s past residents achieved a level of fame and success that not only altered medical practice in his native New Zealand, but landed his unassuming home a place in the dictionary. Truby King was born in New Plymouth, on New Zealand’s North Island, in 1858. Having studied medicine in Europe –

Tasmania, Australia As the water opens up ahead of us, and the landmasses grow fewer and further between, the distances between our destinations become ever longer. From Sulawesi in the north, we take a three-thousand-mile trip south across mainland Australia and down to Tasmania. Many of the nations on our travels have contributed only a single word or two to our language. But in Australia – itself an Englishspeaking country, with long colonial ties to Britain – we’re once more spoilt for etymological choice. The town of Murrumbidgee in New South Wales, for example, is the origin of the expression

FRESH START The magnetos had returned with the dope-resisting paint, and one morning I set about fixing and timing them. I had not had much to do with motors, and this was another chore that scared me beforehand. However, after I had locked the doors, and, sitting on a petrol-case, had mastered the principles of the operation, it turned out to be easy. It was only a matter of marrying a cog wheel on the magneto to a cog wheel on the engine, so that a spark was produced when the piston was in a certain position. Then came the

The doping was not the short job we had expected. We seldom had two hours in the morning or afternoon warm enough for it, and as we had to give each coat several hours to dry, we were lucky if we could give a wing one coat in a day. One morning a retired Australian architect called Giles visited our ‘factory’. He was about seventy, tall and handsome with a short white beard. ‘I should like to know why a young man like you wants to grow a beard, he said. I said, ‘Growing a beard is like undertaking a

I set to work and made up a list of the material and replacements I should need. This made fourteen pages. Then began a strange, but strangely happy period of my life. I stayed with the Dignams, and settled into life on the island, fishing, rat-hunting, and enjoying being a member of one of the friendliest communities I have ever met. As far as I could see the island was communistic in the Biblical rather than any political sense. Its income was derived from the sale of its produce, which was divided up equally. If anyone did extra work, the

He offered to have the seaplane launched for me, but I declined, mounted the cowling, and held the crane hook under the sling wires myself. The seaplane was swung outboard and lowered to the harbour surface. Lazy wisps of smoke hung about buildings. The soft grey shapes of the moored warships suggested a peaceful existence. That glassy surface was a worry for me, though. The floats would not be able to break from the suction of smooth water; with the Captain on the bridge, and my friends watching, I should be unable to take off. I had to try, though,

The Dutch Government refused me permission to fly over New Guinea unless I guaranteed to repay any expenses incurred in looking for me. I imagined myself working for the rest of my life to pay for a week’s cruise of the Dutch fleet. Later, they allowed me to fly to the East Indies if I signed a form absolving them from any responsibility. I was happy to do this, for I did not want anybody to go searching for me if I got into a mess. What I did not know was that the Dutch had cabled to New Zealand,
