Thread: Anyone have a contact for tangahoe station?

A yarn re Tangahoe "Station".Enuff water has passed under the bridge to share it.Funny thing is what passes for a Stn in the Nth Is would merely be called a holding paddock on a proper SI Run.Back to story.In the 80's was shooting out of Karioi Base for FS in the Wanganui/Wakamarino County blocks on goats.It came to the attention on the quiet that the yin trophy operation being run on the Stn had tried to spice things up by illegally liberating Japs flown in with their 180 from their Taupo strip.There was a stink that wouldn't go away with the whole set up.And with FS responsible for animal control on the neighbouring unfenced National Park,they wanted to confirm the whisper,and eradicate them if it was true.But they went about it in a stealthy way without Tangahoes knowledge cause no way would they confirm or deny the liberation.These jokers were real dodgey.For periods the Stn was unoccupied,so we got squirrelled in there by Parks Board jet boat from Pipiriki when it was known that it wasn't occupied.The breif was to snoop around the block to confirm with either sightings or sign, and to boof Japs seen.Then rendezvous with the boat and scarper out of there unnoticed
