Yanks, sometimes we wondered whether they were on our side or not...There flyboys were bloody good though.

I've seen Dundee's tractor, no danger if you fell asleep on it. It's got no wheels lmao

Were in Waiouru 1989 and Mangohane Station about 14 or 15 years ago but make a point of going thru that block yearly.

My cousin worked there as a trapper and pretty ironic his initials are V.C and he fought in the Rhodesian war.

Missed out on the Lions (charity - Ronald McDonald house) 4WD trip earlier this year, too many other buggers had signed up, it went through Otupae, Mangohane, Erewhon, Black Hill and Ohinewairua.

Apparently Mangohane was the first sheep and beef farm in New Zealand to sell for more than $1 million (Warren Plimmer and Jim Bull brought it for around $1.3 million back in 1973... big money back then). I did a bit of work on Bulls other farms, never got up to Mangohane.

Yeah, it was auctioned off at the Napier Wool Exchange in December, 1973.

The limit for the Hunterville 4x4 Tour this year was 75 vehicles, thats a lot, but at $250 per vehicle (incl two passengers) and $50 per extra adult, $25 per child (13 and under), they would of raised a fair bit of coin for R McDonald House.
