In The Wake Of The Axe - Big Country Of The West And North - Peter Newton

"An account of [the author's] visits to ... major sheep stations ... of the west and north ... from Orongorongo in the Wellington district to Te Paki, right at the tip of the North Island. The stations described have one feature in common: at the time of the Europeans' arrival they were covered in heavy forest which had to be felled or burned off before the pioneers could establish their runs ... Blended with the history of each station and an account of its current size and potential are warm and humorous anecdotes of cooks and cattlemen, wild horses and working dogs, bosses and bullockies"--Jacket.
