Description

Most of our nineteenth-century European settlers worked hard to build their new lives, but there was still time for a little leisure. The New Zealand climate encouraged outdoor activities, so the new settlers developed sports from the things they had to do in order to survive. Shooting and woodchopping competitions were popular, and, making the most of two important forms of colonial transport, boat races and horse races became common forms of entertainment.
