No Ronald MacDonald in Hawera

A few years ago whilst driving to the Horowhenua I decided to go the scenic route, via Route 41 aka the lost highway.

As I went through NZ novelist Ronald Hugh Morrison's home town of Hawera I decided to see what there was that celebrated his works.

There was bugger all. However the woman in the tourist info centre did point out that the Morrison's house had been bowled and currently was the site of a KFC. She thought there was something on the site to state as much. So I went and yes there was. As you can see there is a plaque inside the KFC.

From the KFC you see a house with a tower. It's not the rickety vision from the film but when I saw it I immediately recalled the tower from the novel Predicament.
