'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.
Some might say that this retread tyres depot was a disgrace and, no doubt, since I painted it in 1987, it has been demolished. But it wasn't an eyesore to me, it was another opportunity to paint rust and disintegration! According to my notes it stood in Crawford Road, above Gisborne Wharf.
The brand 'Tyre Soles' was quite well known in those days but appears to have died; it certainly does not show up in an Internet search associated with New Zealand.
