That pic with the fern looking off the hill,surely those green paddocks are irrigated if not i'm gonna cry

Bay Farms at Manawaru...and yes they are irrigated

Excellent stuff there Rushy. I was a bit worried about scrolling down the page when you said there was a Scotsman without a kilt.

Always good to get out for a walk Rushy :thumbup:

Thanks spook

That spook ain't a bad sort of bugger aye Rushy ? Bit of good ole country hospitality. Nothing much up high ,will bear in mind tomorrow I'm going in from the other side for a look see.

Those Kaimai reds are well domesticated and know all about postage stamps and mail boxes...!

If it's of any interest to anyone the track has just had a flick over with the bulldozer on the Waikato side this weekend...you could drive your car to the top at the moment...it will stay good till the next lot of rain. The only reason I can think of for dozing the track at this time of year is that some prick on the council is getting himself ready for the roar...the last time the track was bulldozed was a couple of months ago just prior to a S&R excercise...figure that one out.

Enjoyed the write up thanks
