‘Far as a Man May Go’ is the title of a book by Shirley Maddock and Don Whyte about the travels of Captain James Cook to New Zealand. Apparently this is from the Journal of Captain James Cook’s second voyage: ‘…farther than any other man has been before me, but as far as I think it possible for a man to go.'

Maybe so in the physical sense but holistically, as a society, we have a lot more boundary pushing to be done yet I think.

This piece reflects our landscape and my feelings towards our progress in terms of gender roles, race relations, equal opportunities and human rights.

Ka kite ano (will see you again) - Aotearoa.
