In 1979 Robin Morrison, set out on a seven-month road trip, photographing people and places in the South Island. Heartwarming, honest and quintessentially Kiwi, his candid observations of small town New Zealand hark back to a simpler time that has gradually given way to a more sophisticated, connected world.
