Brings back some great memories of Ted Rout and Bernie Bowater – Bernie with the hind quarters and Ted beside his blue land rover. We did a few trips up Takapari Road following along behind the bulldozer each week or so. The road was like a cattle yard – we could walk through the leather wood like it was hardly there. Bernie and his family had a great hut up on the top near the road – on a track pushed through from the farm. They were both real good hunters – sadly Bernie had a heart attack and died at about 50ish.
