Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. A very close to new copy. This lively collection captures the spirit of the Otago Goldfields Cavalcade, the annual trek that retraces the old gold‑rush routes across Central Otago. Journalist Sally Rae gathers stories from riders, wagoners, cooks, organisers, and long‑time characters who return year after year for the challenge, the landscapes, and the camaraderie.
