| الوصف: | "Otiwhiti Station lies in the rugged hill country of the Rangitikei's Turakina Valley, unforgiving land of steep gullies and razor-sharp ridges. A farming family of unique character, the Duncans have been working the land in the region since the 1880s. ... When the polio epidemic of last century landed disastrously close to home, they set aside Otiwhiti Station as a charitable trust to fund the Duncan Hospital, which pioneered treatment for polio sufferers. Ever since, the Trust and the farm have worked side by side, throughout the changing fortunes of farming. Otiwhiti Station chronicles the personalities, the yarns and the legends of station and hospital life." --Back cover. |
