This new title finds New Zealand motoring author Tim Chadwick once again capturing and collating photographs of our motoring history. This time Tim has taken to the backblocks and photographed heavy work machinery such as excavators, road rollers, graders, cranes and heavy dump trucks as a continuation of his delving into our machinery history. Along with Tim's own photos, this book is loaded with historical archival images, many never before published, as well as the work of notable New Zealand transport photographers. A visual feast for those interested in New Zealand's heavy machinery, this book also serves to highlight our machinery heritage for young and old alike. Within these pages, ordinary, everyday, hard-working vehicles rub shoulders with huge exotic beasts of the machinery world as they carry out important work in this country from forests and farms to highways and construction sites. Not only is this book a great follow-up to Tima??s previous books on tractors and trucking, it is a colourful and nostalgic read in its own right.
