A New Zealand road trip companion for the main roads and for those less travelled: East Cape, around Mt Taranaki, Banks Peninsula, Stewart Island, the Chathams.New Zealand reveals itself differently when seen through a windscreen. Gary Ferguson travels the length of Aotearoa, following the roads that thread through mountains, plains, coastlines, and small towns. Each highway becomes a way of understanding the land - its geology, its weather, its histories, and the quiet human stories that gather along the way.From the volcanic plateau to the deep south, Gary writes with the clarity and restraint that have become the hallmark of the series. These are not instructions on where to go, but reflections on what it feels like to move through a place - the light, the distance, the sense of belonging or departure that arrives without warning.Part travelogue, part memoir, part meditation on landscape, Driving the Long, White Cloud continues the journey begun in Airstrips at Dawn and New Zealand Through my Windscreen, offering a fresh, deeply felt way of seeing Aotearoa: not as a set of destinations, but as a continuous, unfolding road.Perfect for readers who love literary travel writing, New Zealand landscapes, and stories told with quiet emotional intelligence.
