    Partner and a run a cafe, community is interestig, try and stay out of the politics to be honest!

    Moving here is a bit difficult as most jobs are seasonal, 1/3 tourism 1/3 aquaculture and the rest odd jobs.

    Welcome to the forum.
    I have an old mate down your ways. Fisherman, J Dory named like the fish. Do you know him?
    I used to fly him into the hills around Haast.
    Always gave me a laugh. Tried catching up with him recently but his number no longer works.

    Cheers mate. He looked after us when we were hunting down there last. Crays and fish and a ride around.
    I must catch up with him.
