"Down a Country Road II returns to New Zealand's challenging and beautiful back country and the colourful personalities who have made these isolated regions their home. Join author Tony Orman as he celebrates their stories of resilience and survival as they wrest a living from the land despite extreme conditions. Share the tales of the explorers, pioneers and trailblazers as they encapsulate a way of life that has largely disappeared. Following on from the bestselling original book, Volume II captures the unique voices of these Kiwi characters who embrace a tough way of life with a wry sense of humour and No. 8 wire sensibility that is as entertaining as it is inspiring "I wrote this second book due the incredible success of Volume 1, as well as my admiration and respect for our forefather's individual way of life," says Tony. This book should resonate for those who work the land, hunt, fish, tramp or hike or just have developed a strong connection to the back country. I hope this book will also appeal to the curiosity of younger generations wanting to know what it was like back in those days." "
