Description

This is the first book to explore the rich heritage of language the rural sector has generated. For two hundred years people have come from all over the world to work in New Zealand's rural enterprises. From this linguistic melting pot, which includes the addition of indigenous Maori words, phrases and adaptations, the author has composed this book, including historical citations for all words listed. Richly illustrated and often hilarious, it will prove an indispensable resource and a good read for the general reader and researcher alike.
