A Land of Two Halves: A Hitchhiking Tour of New Zealand Audiobook

The updated edition of a travel classic

Twenty years ago Joe Bennett hitchhiked the length and breadth of New Zealand. The result was A Land of Two Halves, a portrait of the country and its many contradictions that is as telling today as it was then.

For as Joe says in his reintroduction to this classic road trip, the name of the All Black first five may have changed but there is still an All Black first five, the waves still thump against Hokitika beach and the debate still rages over the Treaty of Waitangi.

In 2024, Joe, now a superannuitant, dusted off his thumb once more and headed for the one part of the country he missed twenty years ago. The result is four new chapters bringing the story delightfully up to date.
