ABOUT
A historical memoir offering a firsthand account of colonial life in New Zealand during the 1870s.
Raised in Tasmania, Meredith moved to New Zealand in his early teens. He describes his journey by sea, his time working as a young laborer on various pioneer farms, and his eventual shift to working as a clerk in Parliament House in Wellington
Because of his job in Parliament, the book provides rare, humorous, and sometimes sharp behind-the-scenes insights into the prominent politicians and governance of the era.
The memoir contains a look at rural farm management practices alongside his interactions with the Indigenous population, detailing Māori traditions, storytelling, and customs from a European settler’s point of view.
