Description
"In beautifully detailed and meticulously researched paintings and a delightfully nostalgic text, Dunedin-raised artist Don McAra brings alive New Zealand's original cable cars, and the post-Second World War world they inhabited. He was drawn on photographs and on his own memories and those of former drivers and passengers to produce a memorable portrait of a vanished transport system that was idiosyncratic but much loved." - book cover.
