    Now that's got to be the best way to save our Kereru!

    How you may ask!?

    Well if we could keep them that fat down here in Southland, It would be even harder to smuggle them out under coats!

    What has caused those very symmetrical looking shapes on the water in the centre picture?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Not sure @Rushy but I suspect it is the current flowing down from the Mueller glacier stopping those small strips from freezing.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    Not sure if I’m proud of it. Peeled a mandarin for our little fella as vitamin C as both kids have flu and fever
    Maybe Toby was watching

    He’s in France, not Austria (which was land locked last time I looked too).
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Photos from the outside and inside of ventilation chimneys from one of the first blackball mines well from around the late 1890's. A fire was lit at the bottom and the draught pulled the air through the mine giving it circulation. The one from the inside is taken looking up from the hearth.
    about 5 k's walking though the water race track along the bush up blackball creek and this is up in the middle of the bush on the side of a terrace.
    Bit of an act to get into now and if its raining its like raiders of the lost ark getting to the step on the bank. Didn't make it last time I tried for that reason

    Here's a pic of the bush its in and another pic of the much shorter round one. Legend has it the one was square and one was round as one was made by Cornish bricklayers and the other was made by Welsh brickies or something along those lines.
    One day they will fall down or get knocked down by a tree which will be a shame.
