I reckon this is worth including in the article. Milford's first post office was this tiny rock at the mouth of Milford Sound. A rum barrel was hung on a tree on the rock in which mail would be posted. A white flag was then raised and passing ships would stop and sift through the mail. If any were addressed to a location they were heading it would be taken along and posted.
- Would like to include this later on, as the article gets longer - currently, we are near the limit in terms of photos, before it startes getting too cluttered. MadMaxDog 09:59, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] External links, references
I have removed three external links to travel agent's websites. I could not see any encyclopedic content in them, and they appeared to be in the article only to promote those travel agents, thus failing the guidelines at WP:EL. The reference for the use of the sound in The Lord of the Rings would not normally pass WP:RS; isn't this information anywhere better, like a NZ newspaper or an official LOTR book/website?
