A life lived through the windscreen - across mountains, coastlines, ferries, storms, and the unpredictable beauty of Aotearoa.For years, Gary Ferguson drove tour coaches the length of New Zealand, carrying travellers through rain‑soaked mountain passes, sunlit plains, ferry crossings, and the wild, unforgettable landscapes of both islands. From the Desert Road to the Homer Tunnel, from Queenstown sleet to West Coast downpours, he saw the country in motion - and the people who came to discover it.In this warm, funny, and deeply human memoir, Gary shares the stories that stayed with him:• passengers who made him laugh• passengers who made him worry• passengers he never forgot• the guides who walked beside him• the weather that tested him• the roads that shaped him• and the quiet moments that revealed the heart of the jobAlong the way, he revisits the rugged years captured in his earlier memoir Airstrips at Dawn, weaving together the young man he was with the seasoned driver he became.
