Station Life In New Zealand

""Station Life in New Zealand"" is a memoir written by Lady Barker, a British woman who moved to New Zealand with her husband in the mid-1800s. The book details her experiences living on a sheep station in the Canterbury region of New Zealand, including the challenges of adapting to a new way of life, the beauty of the New Zealand landscape, and the relationships she formed with the local M����ori people. Lady Barker's writing is vivid and descriptive, providing a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era and a unique corner of the world. The book is a classic of New Zealand literature and a valuable historical document.Christchurch is very prettily situated; for although it stands on a perfectly flat plain, towards the sea there are the Port Hills, and the town itself is picturesque, owing to the quantities of trees and the irregular form of the wooden houses; and as a background we have the most magnificent chain of mountains--the back-bone of the island--running from north to south, the highest peaks nearly always covered with snow, even after such a hot summer as this has been.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
