'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.
This oddly shaped shop and office caught my eye in the main street of Marton, a charming little town off the main highway near Bulls in the Rangitikei district. Somebody with a humorous penchant for kinky design had the wit to install that neat little awning over the first floor window and in doing so set the AA office distinctively apart from its neighbours. The iron pillars supporting the canopy suggest that the shop has been around for a long, long time - a century perhaps?
