There has been much written about New Zealand’s pioneering past, settlers struggled to extract a living from the land.
However, in Hard Country, author, journalist and farmer, Robby Robilliard carefully escorts such struggles, kicking and screaming, into the 20th and 21st centuries.
Beginning in the 1950s, it tells how a family made a go of it on the only patch of land they could afford (aptly named Rocklands) in Golden Bay.
