Dust to Gold : The inspiring story of Bendigo Station home of Shrek order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 49.99 each
Paperback
Author: John Perriam (photography Stephen Jaquiery)
Published by: Random House New Zealand Ltd
In Stock: 6
Shrek may be the star of Bendigo Station, but the back-story of the station is rich and fascinating, from its earliest days as the scene of New Zealand's richest quartz reef gold strike in the 1860s to its establishment as a 11,000 hectare sheep station producing many of New Zealand's highest quality top price Merino clips. As well as this it's now home to several leading Pinot Noir vineyards, public walkways, a historic reserve and fishing and game hunting.

None of this recent development would have come about if it weren't for the far-sighted, entrepreneurial and innovative owners, John and Heather Perriam. They took on Bendigo in the late 1970s after the Clyde Dam project forced them off the nearby family farm. They had spent several years in ultimately fruitless battles with bureaucracy, trying to stop the dam project from going ahead. Things weren't easy at Bendigo Station either. Chief among their problems was a rabbit ... more

Kahurangi Calling: Stories From the Backcountry of Northwest Nelson order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 39.99 each
Paperback
Author: Gerard Hindmarsh
Published by: Craig Potton Publishing
In Stock: 2
Kahurangi National Park gathers in a huge area of wilderness in the top northwest corner of the South Island, stretching west from Nelson in an endless maze of forested mountains and valleys to the rugged and wild West Coast, running out from Golden Bay down to Karamea. This area has an astonishing ecological complexity, so it is perhaps not surprising that this landscape has also generated a wonderfully rich and colourful human history. For well over 20 years Golden Bay author Gerard Hindmarsh has been collecting stories from Kahurangi and in this book he has woven the best of them into a fascinating blend of natural and social history.
In Kahurangi Calling he describes many of the ecological treasures that are found in Kahurangi, but also tells the stories about the fascinating characters that have travelled and lived here: explorers, miners, graziers, trampers and other adventurers, eelers, hermits and many others. ... more

Hardback
Author: Stevan Eldred-Grigg
Published by: Random House New Zealand Ltd

This is a first - a thorough and carefully researched history of the gold rushes in New Zealand - and it establishes a benchmark for future work on the history of the gold rushes. It's based on sound scholarship and aimed at the wide and growing general readership of those keen to know more about, and to weigh up, the history of New Zealand. The scope is the social history of the whole of the goldfields of the whole of colonial New Zealand from the 1850s to the 1870s. The early chapters of the main body will survey rushes chronologically. The later chapters will look at rushes thematically. Beautifully illustrated with sketches and watercolours of the times, this is both a wonderful read and a beautiful gift book.

Ngamatea : The Land and the People order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 50.00 each
Paperback
Author: Hazel Riseborough
Published by: Auckland University Press
In Stock: 1
Ngamatea is a huge and historic sheep station in the central North Island, between the Kaimanawa and Kaweka Ranges, high and remote and often snow-covered in winter.

Here Hazel Riseborough tells the history of the station over several generations. It is packed with good stories and told chiefly from the point of view of the people, often eccentric and colourful personalities, who lived and worked there.
Cooks, shearers, shepherds and their dogs, musterers, gardeners, rabbiters and tough, laconic landowners are all included in this engaging picture of an important facet of New Zealand's past.
The chapter on the big muster, which lasted eight months of the year, for example, is absorbing reading. Riseborough has collected these stories before they are lost and forgotten and has recorded a unique, challenging and exhilarating way of life, intrinsic to this country, which has now largely vanished and has received little attention ... more
