New Zealand Tree Stuff. (from anybody with NZ Stuff)

[Albedo]

Sure did and so did the second tree just to the right of the first and slightly larger. Two fibrolite sheds underneath. Would have been great to land one of the gums right on top of one of the sheds but I suppose the landowner wouldn't have been best pleased.

 

Is that Huka falls in the other photo?

 

Yeah looks like you could have killed 2 birds with one stone there, and got in the stunt fell thread:001_smile:

 

I couldn't remember the name of the falls, but now that you mention it, yep, its Huka falls, beautiful spot, but a bit of a tourist honeypot, so a bit crowded when I passed thru.

 

 

Edit: I do work sometimes but its truck MOT day today, must take her in now

Did some work at Arrowtown some years back, rebuilt the cemetery wall amongst other things! Used to drink at 'The Royal Oak' after work, then back home for a few 'Black Macs'.

Drove up to Macetown a couple of times, stunning scenery. Got a lot of time for NZ, nice people, outdoor lifestyle and plenty of space. Came within a gnats wotsits of emigrating and often wonder if I should have. Too many people on this island.

Bay of islands, just cos its a nice picture, though I say it meself

 

Usually just put them on the laptop and forget about them, I'm enjoying rooting thru them for a purpose.

Looks worse than working in Snowdonia National Park but there's no trees up this high. I moved out from the UK in 98 and haven't looked back so if any of you are keen, get on the next plane out. Stunning country and plenty of work for those who know their jobs.

That looks like the Raetihi - National Park Road Paul. Must have been doing work for PowerCo at a guess. Stunning part of the country unless you get stuck in a snow storm like I did.........on the side of Mt Ruapehu in a 4WD drive that couldn't pull the skin off a cold rice pud. Needless to say was slightly embarresed having to call the plod out to rescue me and the missus of the side of the mountain in a raging blizzard. Back to the Landrovers for me.
