| Summary | "Station Amusements in New Zealand" by Lady Barker is a memoir, likely written in the late 19th century, detailing the everyday experiences and leisure activities of a settler's life in New Zealand. The book captures the author's personal reflections and joyful reminisces about her time spent in the beautiful and varied landscapes of New Zealand, focusing particularly on shared experiences among friends and the delights of simple pastimes such as bush picnics and various forms of outdoor recreation. At the start of the narrative, the author describes the weather conditions leading up to a much-anticipated picnic day after a series of fierce winds. She depicts the natural beauty surrounding her home in Canterbury, New Zealand, and the camaraderie shared with her friend F---- as they prepare for their outing. The opening captures the excitement of organizing the picnic, including packing food and preparing their horses. The author also describes the adventure of their journey, the beauty of the scenery, and the lively atmosphere of their gathering, portraying a vibrant life filled with the pleasures of nature and friendship in the pastoral setting.
