THE RETURN OF A LEGENDARY NEW ZEALAND BOOK!

In 1979, Robin Morrison and his family spent seven months on the road in the South Island, where Morrison photographed people and places. The resulting book was published in 1981 by Alister Taylor and became an overnight success! However, conflict between Taylor and the printer, and the later loss of some images, meant it was never reprinted once it had sold out. It now has near-legendary status and sells for hundreds of dollars in the used-book market.

Now, this groundbreaking book is back in a new edition! Morrison’s original Kodachrome slides have been digitised using the latest technology. His friend and fellow journalist Louise Callan has written a major essay on the book and its legacy, including assessments and recollections by Robin White, Laurence Aberhart, Grahame Sydney, Owen Marshall, Ron Brownson, Dick Frizzell, Alistair Guthrie, and Sara McIntyre.

Forty years on, Morrison’s astounding images can now be appreciated afresh.

This book accompanies Auckland Museum's newest exhibition - Robin Morrison: Road Trip.
