'New Zealand Odyssey', published in 1989 by Heinemann, was authored by me, Don Donovan (who did the text and illustrations) and Euan Sarginson, who did the photography and design. In this series of blog posts, I will publish some of my drawings.
I wrote and illustrated a book 'Country Churches of New Zealand' and being so irreligious that I could be labelled atheistic-ecumenical, I wanted to put all denominations' churches into it.
But the title excluded town churches and so, regrettably, I couldn't feature this synagogue. It's four square and proud and that star window is bold as any rose window in any Christian cathedral, I'll bet it looks great from the inside.
I believe the temple survived all the Canterbury earthquakes.
