This book is dedicated to the memory of Peter Bondfield.
The pages for this book were “rusted” then the book was bound. The book was taken to Palgrove, and the stencils found in the shearing sheds were used to create the marks on the pages. Palgrove began as a sheep station, but is now incorporates a very successful Charolais cattle stud as well as some sheep.
Then the book was taken on a journey around the many parts of the station, and the landscape was drawn directly from life with black ink and a brush.
