Tue 22 Jan 2008: New Zealand farewells a Legend

A tribute to “Sir Edmund Hillary” 1919 – 2008



“New Zealand’s most famous Beekeeper”



A truly great man of strength, determination, vision and humility.


A pragmatic and rugged leader who knew the power of working with nature.

Sir Edmund will continue to inspire us as to just what can be achieved one step at a time.


Like bees in pollination, every person Sir Edmund touched was enriched by the experience.


Sir Edmund made us all proud to be New Zealanders


He will always be remembered with Respect and Admiration

A great man at one with nature.
