Lady Barker, an Englishwoman, recounts her personal experiences as she adapts to the challenges and adventures of living on a remote sheep station with her husband. The narrative provides a vivid depiction of the rugged landscapes, daily routines, and interactions with both settlers and Māori communities. Lady Barker's observations reflect her genuine admiration for the resilience and resourcefulness required to establish a life in the untamed wilderness. She also conveys the complexities of intercultural relations and the intricate social dynamics of the time. Through engaging anecdotes, Lady Barker portrays the struggles and triumphs of daily life on the station, from the herding of sheep and the construction of living quarters to her interactions with the indigenous people.
