Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of life on a sheep station in colonial New Zealand during the 1860s with Station Amusements in New Zealand. This captivating collection of vignettes expands upon the experiences chronicled in Mary Anne Barker’s earlier work, Station Life in New Zealand. For three remarkable years from 1865 to 1868, Mary Anne and her husband, Frederick Broomie, called the picturesque sheep station Broomielaw home, nestled under the majestic Southern Alps of Canterbury. Through her vivid sketches, Mary Anne invites us to relive the joys of their daily pursuits, celebrating the simple pleasures born from robust health, unpretentious tastes, and the beauty of an exquisite climate.
