Around the world in an Austin 7

[Bob Culver]

Somewhere a few years the book was reviewed  (The Seven mechanical and driving experience could be condensed into two pages and there is little about the roads but the drama of the sinking is well captured and it is an interesting social comment of the time. The sea was very rough for life boats initially but fortunately calmed.) The pictures also prompted a discussion of the exact NZ localities. The snow bound car is approaching the Hermitage. Sadly the road is far less interesting today, and the snow less.
