Second that.

I have never had a lot of luck with camera,s...My first decent camera got monsooned in Malaya. My next one got full of water and silt crossing a flooded Marapea river. So I gave up.

If you go to the NZ Deercullers site and have a look in "the gallery" In the Ruahine section you will see most of the camps we used.
It is an interesting place to visit.


Meanwhile I will just have to paint little word pictures for you all which is what an author trys to do.

Thats a bit of a bugger. That NZ Deercullers website is a gem though, some cracker shots on there. I remember looking at it a couple of years ago when there weren't as many photos.

Looking forward to reading your book when it arrives.

Sorry about it coming out like this...But this is a photo taken by a friend of mine of one of our favorite huts in those day. Ruahine Corner.

I took my Wife to this hut for the first time when she was 17.

Dougie - It is a different book to the one your reading.

Heys guys - I obviously get paid a lot more than you sorry lot because after reading the back of Dundee's copy, I bought myself Scribe's book Fantasticly written, I'm absolutely loving it. I haven't really searched for a kiwi author before but the style of this narrative is right up my alley - really down to earth, easy to read.

Cheers Scribe, and I love your note in the front!!

You are some reader 'cam' to get through that book in a day. I am glad you enjoyed it.
