Thread: Taumarunui

Hey Team
well I'm in the process of setting up camp in the bustling metropolis of Taumarunui.
So you locals here,get pm'ing me your best hunting spots and gps marks for where you've seen those huge stags.
You are also welcome to pick me up to take me there too.
Failing that you could always just get in contact if you're interested in maybe getting together to talk shit and drink beer or shoot guns
or whatever.
Possibly consider the opportunity of any work that may be available too
Who's here?

I'm a safe 60km away in a bush. Taumarunui is way to busy for me, only shop there every third week or so, for essentials in the main street. Find yourself a decent street map, a compass and avoid going out at night.

didn't think there's enough streets to need a map.
Why the curfew?

Just a shot at hillbilly humour, sorry. It's a delightful town...

It’s because I’m here, roaming the streets at night

In fast cars and on foot... a proper legend.

One thing I noticed about Taumarunui and Taihape is the houses have great stacks of firewood at every house...there will be a reason for this...and it is that reason I wouldn't live in either place.

Think you will find that a lot of houses here are lacking decent insulation, I guess it gets pretty cold also.

Insulation wasn't needed until the 'snowflakes' moved inside.

Yeah, just keep the firewood stacked

Taumarunui has CHEAP firewood,and folks go and cut thier own still....<$200 for 3 ton of mill slab cheap..... its only cold till 3 in afternoon when the fog clears till next morning......only got 14 neg7 degree frosts in a row my last year at highschool,we still rode motorbikes to school so wasnt really that bad....

Great Golf course, well it was 35 years ago and good hunting up the old bush tramways, probably all overgrown now though. We lived in a house in Kenheath place under the hospital cold as charity.

What number?
