A view point looking out onto Foveaux Strait. An Auckland man has started a campaign to change the name of Foveaux Strait after questioning the former governor of Norfolk Island's past. Fife was unaware of the history of the name but said the strait had been named Foveaux for as long as he had known it. Esler acknowledged that Foveaux was a brutal man at Norfolk Island but all governors on the penal colony were. Margaret Goldsworthy said it had been Foveaux Strait her whole life and did not think it should be changed.
