Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. A very clean copy. The waterside town of Motueka has always been heavily dependent on its port. Over the years passenger services have operated between Riwaka, Motueka and Nelson, fishing fleets have worked the tides, fertiliser has come in shiploads and hops, tobacco, timber and livestock have gone out over the wharf. In 1955, when shipping was at its height, 276 vessels entered the harbour. There have been two wharves at Motueka and their history involves not only extremes of weather and tide but also intense local politics and a petition to Parliament to enable the formation of the Motueka Harbour Board. This book was commissioned to celebrate the centennial of the present Motueka wharf built in 1916, rebuilt and extended in ferro-cement in 1924 and now owned by Talley's Group Ltd. It records the ships that worked the Tasman Bay port, the people who provisioned, loaded and went to sea in them and the families whose lives were bound up with the wharf.…

Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. This copy is like new. Major Robert Adams Wilson DSO, the second son of a Rangitikei sheep farmer, was brought up in a privileged and cultured household. Inspired by his Scottish father, a Member of Parliament, and his Australian mother who was a noted writer, Bob had an enquiring and innovative mind, a firm belief in science and a love for literature and the arts. He was a keen polo player and a forward-thinking businessman whose interests in sawmilling culminated in the chairmanship of two of the North Island's most important timber companies. He successfully planted and farmed a large area of Himitangi coastal sand country, and he established the highly successful Mahoe Friesian Stud, but his greatest love was for the rugged and isolated places of New Zealand. For nearly four decades he went deerstalking in South Westland and Otago, and after serving in the British Army in World War One he encouraged English sportsmen to do the same. He was an authority on native birds, joining ornithologists Edgar Stead and Geoffrey Buddle on numerous research expeditions to New Zealand's most inhospitable offshore islands. He wrote for a variety of newspapers and journals, and he bred lilies and rhododendrons. A high mountain pass, an island bay, several native plants and a rare southern fernbird were named after him, yet he had no public profile and was little known outside his own circles. This book tells the story of a twentieth-century gentleman who lived on his own terms in the Rangitikei.…
