Wallasey to Waitaki

"In 1962, my father travelled from England to NZ. He wrote a diary (B5, hardcover, blue) and shot his first rolls of colour film. The slides sat alongside the journals in the attic for the last few decades before being digitised. Despite over-exposing himself, so to speak, Dad's diary of his first real journey is such that it deserves to be archived, and as none of my siblings, nor I, can read his handwriting, he has done it for us, awesome!"
