Young New Zealanders have always had an incurable urge to travel and see the world we hear so much about but from which we feel so separated. The 'big OE' has become part of New Zealand culture, it enriches our lives n innumerable ways and most travellers look back on those experiences with a rueful fondness.
The stories in this collection provide snapshots of the wide range of experiences that these young adventurers recall.They are not visiting museums, holy places or scenery. They are about the cultural and environmental differences and learning from experience. They are about adventure, in some cases daring, enduring hardships, having great courage and determination, language, companionship, humour and having a good time. The stories span 50 years but the emphasis is on the sixties and seventies. And they are all true. Most of all they say, New Zealand is our home. This is our place. These are our stories.
