The Wairarapa balloon fiesta night-glow

That time of year again!

Today I happened to be next to where the LZ was!

Quite a sight watching these balloons come in to land!

Real Huts

Poulter Trust hut, Aurthrs Pass, 1982.

When you could cut down trees and burn them and the toilets were the long-drop variety.

Before the soft-cocks at DOC wussified the national parks with their motel units...

More shed stuff

Woodside, Greytown.

Holiday home

I suppose somebody uses this place!

Another small town playground

And from the other side...

From the old shed collection

MMMMMM-Beef

Even phoning us costs a packet!

But I'm told it's VERY nice!

Free fruit

There are a lot of these along the roadside- fruit trees grown from seeds discarded from passing vehicles. Most are apple trees, although there are a few plums about.
