Book winners

Puketiti Station

The compilation book featuring the work of Colin Wheeler - “Historic Sheep Stations of New Zealand” - was won by the Willis family from Ngapuke Station at Rere and congratulations to them.

Thanks to all those who entered the draw.

Between 1967 and 1972 Mr Wheeler visited 60 of the country’s historic sheep properties.

The book is a collection of his drawings, paintings like this one of Puketiti Station, and tremendously detailed written descriptions of each of them.

It features Paparatu, Tangihau, Huiarua and Puketiti Stations from this region.

Focus on the Land would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, and a safe and prosperous New Year. M
