Coastal Stations

Résumé du livre

"The rich history of two of Wairarapa's historic coastal sheep stations, Flat Point and Glenburn, is captured by farmer-historian Brian Cameron who, like his parents and grandparents, farmed Flat Point Station, situated south of Castlepoint light-house on Aotearoa New Zealand's rocky east coast. Part history and memoir, the book ranges from Maori occupation and settlement through to 2021 and includes a chapter on the archaeologically significant Waikekeno Heritage Area, and the unique geology of the coast created by major tectonic plates which collide a short distance offshore. This well illustrated book containing many personal photographs covers the gamut of life on the isolated farms and includes the stories of many of the managers, shepherds, fencers, shearers, scrub-cutters, cooks and cowmen-gardeners, tractor drivers, bach owners, fishermen and personalities associated with the properties."--
