The land of our hardiest, wildest and wooliest sheep
breed, captured in all its spectacular beauty.
From the towering peaks of the
Inland Kaikoura Range in the north to the glacial waters of Lake Wakatipu in
the south, this is a richly illustrated celebration of New Zealand’s most
spectacular high country. It is also the story of our most revered sheep breed,
and the families whose livelihoods depend on it thriving in this extreme yet
mesmerising landscape.

Nicholas Station, Cecil Peak Station, Nine Mile Station, Dingleburn Station,
