HOME IN A HOLE IN THE GROUND
Next door to the Trustbank is New World, the lair of the Murdies, who lost their caravan on the way back from the Summerless North. After towing the caravan all the way from Dargaville they decided to swap drivers at the Last Spike reserve north of Horopito. Allan Murdie, the tired driver pulled in to the reserve to get well off the road, but the caravan was swallowed whole, into a huge pot-hole. The ends of the mobile home were caught oA the crater rim, with the wheels dangling into the abyss. Help from friends saw the van salvaged undamaged. Small car drivers and caravan towers be wamed: it's a long drive to China and the route isn't signposted.
