High Country New Zealand : The Land The People The Seasons
Hardback Edition: 1
Yet few have experienced day-to-day life in these remote regions. Regions where high-tech farming methods are used alongside tools an early settler would recognise, where animals play a central role, where hours are long and income can be short, and where everyday livelihoods are at the mercy of the weather.
Photographer Antonia Steeg began her work documenting the high country in 2008. She has driven over 120,000 kilometres by four-wheel-drive, seen parts of the country few will ever reach, experienced wild extremes of weather and made more than 100 station visits, meeting and working alongside the people who live there. Of the tens of thousands of high-quality photographs she has taken, more than 300 of the best are distilled into this, her first full-length book.
With an evocative and richly informative introduction by celebrated writer Philip Temple, High Country New Zealand is a visually stunning documentary of this unique place.
