MOLESWORTH - Stories from New Zealand's largest high-country station


The last account of Molesworth was published in 1969 so this this book is a timely continuation of its history. Molesworth tells the stories of those who have contributed so much over the years to this highly successful station. 

Richly illustrated (understatement) with the sweeping and evocative photography of Rob Suisted, this is a must for all those interested in the iconic South Island high country.

Harry Broad has worked both sides of the fence as an award-winning lifelong journalist, having been a former farming editor and a pest control advocate for conservation. He has had a long interest in the history of the South Island high country, and the chance to do a book on the great Molesworth Station has enabled him to combine all his interests under his beret.

Publishers Craig Potton Publishing have just announced a third reprint of the title - amazing considering it was only published last month but I am not surprised, it is a truly spectacular book telling a wonderful story.

Hardback - $69.99
