Justoutside Huntly, there is a Maori graveyard - pictured here on the left. Apparently, the more lowly you are, the lower down on the hill you get to be buried. The really big-wigs get to rest in peace right on the very top of the hill with a glorious view.
I managed to spend a day out on the road with Jo and caught this snap of him looking extremely unhappy about the state of the road edge in front of him. He is armed with the work camera so that he can record the fact and set the wheels in motion to have it all seen to. We have to admit that the reflective jacket with it's bum apron is certainly difficult to miss.
The actual New Zealand driver's license (which involved a fair amount of sacrifice in that studying had to be done in vital Super 14 rugby time) arrived in the post the other day. Jo is now legally able to drive pretty much anything in New Zealand with his little card in his wallet.
Just outside Cambridge - which is a very small little town about 30km from Hamilton - quite ordinary houses line the main street into the village. One of these 'ordinary' houses sports this wood carving which we imagine took a while to fashion - we just wondered if the artist lives in the house behind the bird or whether the new owners don't quite know what to do about the big bird in the front 'section'!
