1 We stopped at Knights Point Lookout, about 17 miles (27 kilometres) north of the drive-by town of Haast, to take in the views out over the Tasman Sea.
2 Knights Point got its name, not from the visiting politicians who wanted it to be named after a senior official of the Ministry of Works employed in the head office in Wellington, but it was construction crew who fronted the delegation from Wellington and said that the area had already been named Knight's Point. The officials inquired who "Knight" was and were informed that he was the surveyor's dog. Knight's Point was named after Norman McGeorge's dog Knight.
