The Back of Beyond

Kiwi -a small flightless nocturnal bird which is native to and the national symbol of New Zealand. We travelled around the United States and Canada for twelve months towing a camper touching on all forty-eight contiguous states and eight Canadian Provinces. As we tried to support the American economy the only way we knew how-by sticking to the secondary roads stopping at all the small towns and buying beer at all the backwoods bars-we were continually asked the same questions: What are you - We're Kiwis Where are you from - New Zealand but we live in Australia What are you doing here - We want to see every State learn all the history and experience what it is like to live as an American Why - Because America gets such a bad rap around the world we want to find out for ourselves if it is justified . . . and if you really are as good as you think you are . .
