BARNES, Clifford Henry (Cliff) interviewed by Morag Forrester
Record Group — Box: 52
Identifier: H0559
Overview
The son of a shearer who worked in the Te Anau Basin during the 1940s, Cliff's first introduction to the district was in 1945. Since then he has developed extensive knowledge of the deer-run hinterland as well as the craggy coastline of the southern fiords where he spent many years both as fisherman and tourism operator. In this interview, Cliff remembers traditional skills such as blade-shearing and oyster-catching as well as forming a small tourism business in Doubtful Sound. He also talks about bringing his wife and family to live in Manapouri in the early 1960s before the area was catapulted into a major environmental campaign of national proportions.
