Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. A very clean copy. Its call sign was Fernleaf Cairo, and between 1939 and 1946, around 76,000 Kiwis of the Second New Zealand Expeditionary Force passed through Maadi Camp. Around 17 kilometres south of Cairo, the camp appeared almost overnight, as this country's permanent overseas base during…the Second World War. By 1945 the camp had tar-sealed roads, two cinemas, an open-air amphitheatre, canteens, bars, chapels, sports fields, a meat-pie and ice-cream factory, and - thanks to General Bernard Freyberg - swimming baths. Egypt was a source of boundless amazement, sly humour and some disgust to the New Zealanders, an experience which left its mark, both on our language - taking a shufti - and more tangibly, the Maadi Rowing Cup. With unpublished images and first-hand accounts, Fernleaf Cairo offers a fascinating insight into the unlikely bond young New Zealanders forged with the people and city of Cairo, including their many highly colourful experiences on leave.

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. A very good clean copy with a tiny mark on the half title page. Mt Aspiring station is set in the craggy backblocks of Otago, between Lake Wanaka and the Southern Alps. The Aspinall family have farmed in this tough and unforgiving environment - on slopes so steep that horses cannot… climb - since 1920. Their homestead sits by the confluence of the east and west branches of the icy Matukituki River and marks the last occupied home before entering New Zealand's most pristine natural wilderness. The current owners, Randall and Allison Aspinall, returned to the farm under tragic circumstances when Randall's father, John, an Otago high-country legend, died unexpectedly in 2009. They are carrying on the work of previous generations, knowing that it is a way of life fast disappearing in the face of conservation, sustainable development and technology. Behind these changes remains an unyielding love of the land and a duty to protect it. Today over 80,000 tourists and visitors pass over Mt Aspiring Station every year. HIGH COUNTRY LEGACY tells the story of this stunningly beautiful part of New Zealand through the personalities so entwined with the valley: mountaineers, trampers and climbers, conservationists, geologists, deerstalkers, possum-hunters and fishermen, and the Aspinall family themselves.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Small ownership stamp and is otherwise un-marred. An illustrated history and pictorial record together with tall tales of life on a coastal hill country station. Including the historic Ngakawau Hotel (40 miles from Masterton, 40 years ahead of it…!) and the 'Holiday Light', Castle Point Lighthouse, with a chronicle of the Beach Annual Race Meeting. Castlepoint is the name of the towering rocks, sweeping sands,beckoning lighthouse and sheltering harbour that pierces the otherwise hostile coastline of New Zealand's lower North Island. It is also the name of the historic sheep and cattle station perched on the hills encircling the rural settlement there. It is these Castlepoints, along with the people who have inhabited them, the harsh and wild conditions they worked and lived in, and the memories they left that provide the bedrock of this book. It is also the story of the present, of today's custodians of the station and their dreams for its future. These custodians are Emily and Anders Crofoot, who took on Castlepoint Station in 1998 after selling their farm 65 miles from Manhattan, New York. Buttressed by the works of some of our finest artists and photographers, these three portray: the timeless Castlepoint summers of hunting, fishing and swimming; the thunder of hooves racing over sands; the crayfish being dragged from the sea by the sugar-sack full; and the ecstasy of the arrival of the Fly and Savage mail coach. They also recall: the bitter winds that toss ships onto savage rocks, and fanned scorching scrub fires; the incessant drownings in swollen rivers or the surging surf; and the loneliness of men without women, seeking consolation in the depths of a bottle.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. 1st Edition. A fine copy that is signed by Edward Beetham. "Brancepeth was one of the largest sheep stations New Zealand had ever known. It was in 1856 that four hundred Merinos began grazing in the wilderness of the Wairarapa's eastern hills, but by the turn nof the century 100,000 more were spread…over a giant 31,000 hectares of productive hill-country. In the earliest heady days of its settlement, a single pit-sawn whare with a hand-hewn shingled roof stood at the heart of the station. But following the formation of the Beetham-Williams family partnership, known as The Firm, Brancepeth quickly prospered. An enormous 32-room homestead with a battlemented tower was constructed, as well as a grand stable with a coach house keeping a large collection of horses, buggies and motorcars, a library of 2000 Victorian books, a school, a smithy, store and a cookhouse serving the station and its 300 staff clustered amidst the hill country. The glory days of this vast farm have passed, but at its heart the remarkable homestead and the precinct of buildings still bearing the Brancepath name provide a glimpse into a long-forgotten world. ."--Back cover.

Around 17 kilometres south of Cairo, the camp appeared almost overnight, as this country's permanent overseas base during the Second World War. By 1945 the camp had tar-sealed roads, two cinemas, an open-air amphitheatre, canteens, bars, chapels, sports fields, a meat-pie and ice-cream factory, and - thanks to General Bernard Freyberg - swimming baths. Egypt was a source of boundless amazement, sly humour and some disgust to the New Zealanders, an experience which left its mark, both on our language - taking a shufti - and more tangibly, the Maadi Rowing Cup. With unpublished images and first-hand accounts, Fernleaf Cairo offers a fascinating insight into the unlikely bond young New Zealanders forged with the people and city of Cairo, including their many highly colourful experiences on leave.
