Ramblings of a much published New Zealand author

New Zealand Odyssey: Court House, Hunterville

'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.



In the heart of the Rangitikei district is Hunterville, a small town serving a large farming area, and in the heart of Hunterville lies the 1896 court house built to a standard design that can be seen in small towns all over New Zealand. This charming little building was, in 1987, a museum and art gallery kept in good repair behind its neat picket fence. I have a thing about power and telegraph poles: I like them because they help with perspective. In this case one feels that the court house might run away were it not tethered!
