He writes as a South Island sheep man, but soon makes clear that he is no stranger. Blended with the history of each station and an account of its current size and potential are warm and humorous anecdotes of cook and cattlemen, wild sheep and working dogs, bosses and rodeos, of the individuals and activities that together make up New Zealand station life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIllustrated throughout with monochrome images and maps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003cbr\u003eExcellent original condition, wear\/repairs on dust jacket, binding tight, pages near new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eREMARKS\u003cbr\u003eSee our other listings by this author.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unicorn Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55450439975204,"sku":null,"price":39.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/1901\/6740\/files\/101245.jpg?v=1783276279","url":"https:\/\/unicornbooks.co.nz\/products\/in-the-wake-of-the-axe-big-country-of-the-west-and-north-by-peter-newton-1972","provider":"Unicorn Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
