Opened in 1899, the Clifden Suspension Bridge, preserved by the Historic Places Trust, still carries Highway 96 over the Wairaki River in western Southland near Tuatapere. The illustration accompanies one of the more unfamiliar tours described in the new “AA Atlas and Touring Guide of New Zealand” (Lansdowne Press, 1985, 196 pp., $49.95). This handsome and substantial book (much too large for the glove-box) includes a detailed road atlas with regional descriptions; a guide to recreation and tourist attractions; and accounts of more than 40 day-tours throughout both islands. It is profusely illustrated and a rich store of ideas for holiday destinations.
