Station Life In New Zealand is a memoir written by Lady Mary Anne Barker, a British woman who lived in New Zealand in the mid-19th century. The book provides a fascinating insight into the daily life of a colonial station owner and her family, as they adapt to the challenges of living in a remote and unfamiliar land. Lady Barker's vivid descriptions of the landscape, wildlife and people of New Zealand paint a vivid picture of a world that is both beautiful and harsh. She writes about the challenges of raising children in such a remote location, the difficulties of running a cattle station, and the interactions between the European settlers and the Maori people. The book is also a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into the attitudes and values of colonial society in the 19th century. Overall, Station Life In New Zealand is a compelling and insightful memoir that offers a unique perspective on life in colonial New Zealand.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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
