Frank Worsley was a New Zealander - born in Akaroa 1872 - Akaroa is on Banks Peninsula - South Island NZ - Christchurch also on same Peninsula.
Akaroa is a beautiful spot on the Southern side - but has a distinctive French flavour after the French colonised it and injected mainly French values into the town.
It is only 84 miles from Christchurch an easy sunday drive and is a popular visiting spot for residents from Chrsitchurch.
A highly decorated and skilled sailor and explorer - he has written books on his ventures - might be worth a read.
