I grew up on the hill just before you get to Tirimoana, my parents still live there. Nice spot around Anakiwa.
Very possibly I may know them, or know of them!Quote:

Welcome Oldboy.
Blenheim here too, and new as well. Maybe we should all go for a beer at the Linkwater when this pubs are open again.
Ha and welcome - I'd join you guys for a beer to except that despite being bought up near Canvastown and spending a lot of time hunting down the Sounds - I got relocated to deepest Southland about 1980 (and I'm still not a "local" here yet!)
Sounds like a plan..if you arrive before me, a pint of Old Dark please...Quote:

Nice. My grandfather was a musterer there and my uncle was a culler there. I shot my first decent stag there. Has a lot of history when it comes to hunting.Quote:
