Glenthorne is owned by a foreigner, they don't know how the back country used to be to us kiwis. There is the issue of liability if you use their access ways and often this is the reason for refusal.

Agreed. Although the liability thing is often a bit of a cop out, and an excuse to turn people down. Good to see work safe give clarification earlier this year:
