Kia ora from Auckland, New Zealand!

Hello fella, moved out here from south east England 4 months ago, work for Treescape, let me know if you fancy a pint fella.

You will love the native podocarp forests mate they are unreal.

as for the size of trees, wont be long and 30 meters up will feel as natural as 15

I've chatted with a few guys on here now that are looking to move out to NZ for either a long term visit or permanenetly. I've also seen posts on a few threads from guys that wish they had made the move when they were younger, be it to Canada, Oz or NZ, but never took the opportunity when it was there. If you have any urge to visit the world go for it while you have the chance. There is so much more information and help available now on forums like this than when I made the move 15 years ago that there's no excuse for not having a crack.

 

Will, hope you have an absolute ball out here

Your thread needs pics Will.

 

I'll start you off with this. How can a bunch of bicycles be relevant to being a tree bod in NZ...?? ... Answer to follow.

Would somebody with better pc knowledge than myself be able to explain to me how to put up multiple pics in a decent size please?

 

The files are jpeg straight off my camera so I'm guessing they're pretty big ... I hate computer stuff

 

Thanks

I’m on a macbook now which is very slightly different but on a PC……

 

To upload pics from ‘Quick Reply’

 

Click …’Go Advanced’

Click the pic of a staple at the top next to the smiley.

You get a pop up window offering ‘Choose File’

Click ‘choose file’ it will take you to my documents on your laptop.

 

Just navigate to my pictures and choose the pic ( you get mini pics to look at but it helps to note the numbers you want in advance)

 

Click a pic and it will appear with jpegxxxx in the window, then choose the next one.

 

It’ll take a while to upload as the AT software resizes them for you.

 

When it’s finished uploading close the window and you go back to your post.

 

You can preview post from there.

 

Maybe just try one at first to start with. Hope it works:001_smile:

[will.morris]

Cool thanks mate . Will try a few now.

 

I want to go down to Taupo soon to do the 19km Tongariro alpine crossing walk to experience 'Mordor' from LOTR so that should be a good photo opportunity and I'll keep this thread alive

[DrewB]

What park is that will?

[will.morris]

Well that was easier than I thought lol ... has it always resized them for you or is that a new thing

 

These next pics are from the Hunua Falls/Ranges about 40mins south of Auckland city centre. I photographed the Cossey Dam which was built in the 1950s but had a lot of work done to it in the early 2000's and provides drinking water for the Auckland area along with other dams in the ranges. There are various walks signposted in the ranges, they range from 20min loops to 3/4 day hiking trails, the one I did was called The Massey Loop and is supposed to take 3 hours ..... the fact I got very lost and maybe had to contact the search and rescue team for advice deep in the bush for advice is not important .... took me just under 6hrs to find my way out lol. These are the Kauri trees at 'Kauri grove', I need to go to a different woodland to see the monsters as these are clearly not that big

Her you go will, couple of tempters for you.
