- Description
-
1) Mother and daughter were the first of the settlers in Levin block.
Other women who set example by tenacity and courage.Into the unknown they came - the wives of the pioneers. Here was a strange land - rough, untamed, bush-clad country. But there was no time to ponder over the comforts they had left behind. There was work to be done. The land must be cleared and a home must be built to shelter them and their families. They worked alongside their husbands for they were a sturdy breed and were undaunted by the lack of home amenities, hospitals, medical services, places of entertainment and suchlike. Mostly it was a long track to the nearest neighbour.
