In 2004 she was a recent widow when she spied an advertisement for the sale of the legendary Castle Hill Station, near Porters Heights in the Canterbury alps. A woman of energy and enterprise, she bought it and so began a new life learning to run a high country farm at some of the highest elevations in the South Island. This joyful book tells of the trials, tribulations and triumphs of high country life. Christine has thrown herself into station life with gusto, learning to ride so she can join musters in the back country, feeding out to her stock during the disastrous snowstorm of 2006, training a sheep dog, buying stock with her manager at the sales and getting on famously with the colourful local characters who are her neighbours, and diversifying the station with a tourism enterprise - and proving that she is not a city slicker on a dalliance. Warm, humorous, this inspirational book tells the story of a woman bold enough to do what many urbanites dream of: embark on an entirely new life and through herself into a considerable challenge. Beautifully illustrated, The Road to Castle Hill is also a celebration of New Zealand high-country way of life.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C527828</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C527828</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fernyhough, Christine]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/527828037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A High Country Love Story</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[The South Island of New Zealand From the Road]]></title><description><![CDATA[In 1979 the photographer Robin Morrison and his family spent seven months on the road in the South Island, where Morrison photographed people and places. The resulting book was published in 1981 by Alister Taylor and became an overnight success. Alas, conflict between Taylor and the printer, and the later loss of some images, meant it was never reprinted once it had sold out. It now has near-legendary status and sells for hundreds of dollars in the used-book market. Now this groundbreaking book is back in a new edition. Morrison's original Kodachrome slides have been digitised using the latest technology, and his friend and fellow journalist Louise Callan has written a major essay on the book and its legacy, including assessments and recollections by Robin White, Laurence Aberhart, Grahame Sydney, Owen Marshall, Ron Brownson, Dick Frizzell, Alistair Guthrie and Sara McIntyre. Forty years on, Morrison's astounding images can now be appreciated afresh.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1370509</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1370509</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Morrison, Robin, 1944-1993]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1370509037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Road to Castle Hill]]></title><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1563604</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1563604</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fernyhough, Christine]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1563604037</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A High Country Love Story</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our People, Our Century]]></title><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1642892</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1642892</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Smith, Paul, 1944 July 24-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 1999 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1642892037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>1900-2000</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unfinished Business]]></title><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1836772</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1836772</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Douglas, Roger, 1937-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 1993 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1836772037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Roger Douglas]]></title><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1836559</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1836559</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Douglas, Roger, 1937-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 1987 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1836559037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Toward Prosperity</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shipwreck]]></title><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1643161</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1643161</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Callan, Louise, 1948-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1643161037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Tales of Survival, Courage &amp; Calamity at Sea</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[2050 What If]]></title><description><![CDATA[Discusses what New Zealand would be like if it became totally Green.
