Well it looks like we will still be in detention in level 2 so there goes any plans. If only there were deer in Waitakeres..

Stanfields gone I think , I was in the Tikitiki when Bola struck under a bit of Black Polythene and survived somehow , I remember looking in disbelief when we were walking out on the Te-ringa/Oamaru track at some faces that had trees just flattened out .

Yes

Was in WAiouru when Bola struck. Sounded like just another shitty storm. But the next weekend went up to Waipakahi roadend and you could see where the wind had gone...skipped over a valley, then hit a ridge and 90% of the trees were blasted flat. All 1or2km worth of a ridgeline. Then a bit further along the wind had slammed into the middle of a hillside, and smashed trees to pieces. Would have been utterly scary to have been in the bush there.

We flew over the pine area north of Clements Rd and was a mass of flattened pines for miles, it looked like a nuclear bomb had flattened it, large areas of beech forest was also demolished.

When I lived up north used to hunt the sth kaimanawas around kaimanawa rd and waipakahi rd worth a look not too much human traffic
