One Flat Coyote on the Centre Line

Travel writer Karen Goa and her boat-builder husband Ken fled their native Saskatchewan's bone-crackingly cold winters for New Zealand's hilly greenery and beaches in the 1980s. Twenty years on, the Canadian Kiwis rustle up a 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air station wagon and set off across Canada's back roads. From bear-ridden British Columbia to bald, blasted Newfoundland the couple poke around fishing villages, Hutterite colonies, Indian reservations, classy Quebec and the fearsome, bug-infested Far North finding out what Canadians across the land have been doing, thinking and eating while they've been away enjoying the New Zealand good life - and uncovering some surprising Kiwi connections.
