This the story of the Warrington family while they were on Mimiwhangata Station during the years 1917-33.

Here ae first hand descriptions of horse-breaking, pig hunting, mustering and shearing, difficulties with transport and communication, and the all-important steamer day.

What happened when a baby was born prematurely, or a serious accident occurred gives us pause for thought nowadays. There are accounts of  'At Home", a formal ball, rin-canning, fishing and picnic excursions, and the difficulties of obtaining an education on that isolated but magical stretch of coastline.
