Author George Lockyer has travelled the length and breadth of the country in pursuit of the classic Kiwi pub.
He's pulled his findings together in a new book called 'Iconic Kiwi Pubs: From Mangonui to Bluff.
The book explores the history of 25 pubs and their place within communities - and includes many memorable characters and moments.
George is also the author of Kiwi Garages, Kiwis on Harleys and Tales and Trails Down Under.
