Who is Alice Mabin? She is the BEFA 2015 Asia Pacific Female Entrepreneur of The Year and Australia's Number 1 Rural Lifestyle Photographer.
She also has an award-winning book under her belt called The Drover.
Now she's back with a new book called The Driver: Australia and New Zealand on the back of a truck and she made time from her odyssey around New Zealand's North Island to have a chat to The Country's Jamie Mackay.

The Drover is a photographic record of 18,000 head of cattle walked thousands of kilometres across two Australian states during a severe drought. This amazing journey had not been undertaken in Australia for over 100 years and it took the farmer nine months.
