Notes

348 p. : ill., (chiefly col.), maps, ports Summary: When she was widowed, with three children, in 1992, Iris Scott had to call on all her farming skill and inner strength to carry on as the run-holder of the 150-year-old, 18,000-hectare Rees Valley Station at the head of Lake Wakatipu, near Glenorchy. Not only that, she also had to keep up her veterinary practice. High country woman is the engaging story of Iris Scott's love of our high country and her determination to farm it successfully while upholding high conservation and land-guardianship values.
