Encounter Overland Scrapbook

This scrapbook was put together by Aroha Uea. It is not in strict date-order but includes photos dating from the late 1960s to 2000 taken at various events including trip departures, birthday parties, Christmas parties, staff farewells, travel shows, brochure launches and a couple of weddings. Not all events include a description of the particular occasion. If you can provide information on any of the photos please email Lance Thomas at EncounterOverlandArchives@gmail.com and I will try to find a way to include it with the scrapbook.

A higher resolution version of the scrapbook is available through this link. It may take longer to download.

Mark Ram Cartoons

Mark Ram drew many cartoons for Encounter Overland and were used to inject some humour into early editions of the staff bulletin ENFLASH. His drawings were also used in brochures and pre-departure information. Mark was a member of one of the early Asia expeditions.

This is a compilation (by David Hunter) of many of Mark’s drawings.
