Enjoyed the story, thanks Simon.

I expect they stopped the goat culling simply because of limited funding, and DoC identifying higher priority areas for attention? I spent some time grovelling around most of the eastern Rimutakas in 1979/80, and can confirm that back then goat numbers were modest at best, and generally pretty localised.
