Ramblings of a much published New Zealand author

New Zealand Odyssey: Storm Warning At Motutere

'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, being old fashioned, have always looked upon women as the gentle sex. The reason why I illustrated the entrance to this otherwise unremarkable public convenience at Motutere, south of Taupo, was the warning sign at  its doorway. My mind boggled.

The caption I gave to the illustration in our book was 'What do they do in there?' That was in 1987, I have never re-visited the building and so wonder whether, in fact, it was destroyed, perhaps in a fit of rage upon finding a empty toilet roll holder?
