There's a 35,000 acre sheep station in New Zealand called 'Nowhere" - to be totally accurate it's actually called 'Erewhon" based on the word 'Nowhere' spelt backwards. 'Erewhon' is the title of a best selling novel written by English writer Samuel Butler, published in 1872. He had worked on a nearby property for several years when he visited New Zealand. When he returned to England he included his memories of Erewhon in his novel. It's a wild place, remote and beautiful, w...ith tussock grasslands, mountains, rivers and glaciers. A 'Lord of The Rings' movie was filmed here and a visit to Erewhon can be arranged by the team here at New Zealand Vacations.
