"Each of the eleven chapters focus on the personal, inspirational stories of the main owners (and one manager) of Haldon Station since it was first taken up in 1857... Set out with the pioneers and discover the mighty challenges they faced, and journey through the generations up to the present owners of today who share some of their courageous and inspirational life story... Meticulous research by the author revealed precious old journals and photos of the earliest owners and brings the rich history of Haldon to life in an impressive format with full colour or historic photos on almost every page" -- Haldon Station.
