At a meeting with the Queen , he once boasted that he was so well known in New Zealand, that if a person were to send a letter to New Zealand addressed only to "Robbie", he was sure to receive it! The Queen tested this assertion, and indeed the letter arrived (helping the reputation of New Zealand Post ). The Auckland City Council erected a statue of him in Aotea Square , and a park also bears his name. REFERENCES Entry in Dictionary of NZ Biography |
