    Went yesterday to see if I could locate our balloted Maimai for the next 3 years.Eventually found it underneath a large gorse bush. The last guys hadn't done much to improve it and maintain it. Oh well part of the lucky dip with ballots I suppose. Needs a new front wall and floor, the other walls and seating will require attention also. Gorse bush will stay for camouflage aid. That spikey acacia type bush behind us will definitely get Round Upped. Will have to be alert and attentive to our shooting direction, as the public car park is in range of falling shot. Still looks to be worth the effort for the allocated time period we have it. Whakatane Game Club just down the road for tea, Rugby on the telly and the Awakeri hot pools handy, so all good. There would of been 120 + ducks on the water halfway down the Lagoon another 40 or so flying around. Will be going across this coming weekend to work on the improvements.

    Nobody has done anything there for a while. I have been working most weekends and havn't been down since pulling the raupo. Hope to get down before they lock the gate to rebuild the maimai. Not ideal leaving it this late, but bloody work!!!! I will call in on the way past in case you are there at the same time.
