Station Amusements in New Zealand is a collection of vignettes about life on a sheep station (high country farm) in colonial New Zealand during the 1860s and is a further embellishment of events presented in Mary Anne Barker’s first book “Station Life in New Zealand”. Mary Anne Barker and her husband Frederick Broomie lived at their sheep station Broomielaw under the foothills of the Southern Alps of Canterbury, New Zealand for three years from 1865 – 1868. Mary Anne Barker wrote in Chapter I: I purpose therefore in these sketches to describe some of the pursuits which afforded us a keen enjoyment at the time, –an enjoyment arising from perfect health, simple tastes, and an exquisite climate.
