SUTHERLAND, Elizabeth

Elizabeth Sutherland, wife of a nephew of Donald Sutherland who discovered the Sutherland Falls and explored Milford Sound, recalls her first trip to the Milford area. She describes early tourist excursions into Milford.
In 1922 the government bought out the Sutherland tourist operation and eventually the Milford Hotel was built.
