'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.
It's 1987 and this is the Masterton depôt of a carter that used to operate up and down the Wairarapa plain to all points of land east of the Tararua mountain range and beyond. This building clearly dated back to horse-drawn transport days and the groaning old bricks could tell a few stories of everyday life in this farming province; they even offered a mail service to Wellington and Auckland.
I just loved the old bricks - the texture. The company is no more; it was taken over by Farmers Transport in 1993.
