Hi Footloose. If the tour you are on is a a real tour then I am sure it will include the MAINLAND of NZ. Up here in the real world there are some interesting roads and tracks, not long in distance but they go up a long way and then back down again.
Keep in touch when you come, if you are going to
Queenstown go through the Nevis Valley about 80ks (or is that
miles) anyway it takes about 3- 4 hours to drive straight through, allow a full day to enjoy. If it suits I will have a yarn to some of the Stations and might get permission to use their tracks. Nevis, Skippers, area etc. That's another couple of days. If I provide a feed of oysters/muttonbirds and the shearers quarters are not in use I could organise accommodation as
well.
Adobe Photoshop, I am sure it is not the system that is the problem, just my index fingers pushing the wrong buttons.
It is a funny old country out there. Come onto a herd of cows/calves on the Plenty, as you do pulled up said Gidday how far you going, ended up yarning for a couple of hours, that area was 10-12 inch rain now 2-3 inch to make matters worse they had 20 points rain about a month previous and the cows were dying of Ghidea Pod poisoning. I even offered to give them a hand, my horse days are over but I know cattle, even offered to go to the
camp and put a meal on but hr assured me that the
camp oven was on and they were OK. It was the tinge of despair in his voice thay got to me. She's a hard country allright. Drive another 200/300 ks and the cattle are fat and sassy.
Bugger it is still raining here.
