That looks great fishing Fes. Would you like the book, I'd be happy to send it to you? :thumbup:
 
Great pics Fes.
I admire the lodge immensely. Fantastic that you used recycled and heritage stuff to construct it.
I was a bit worried that I was gonna see a Hobbit or something walking across the fields.
Magnificent country.
 
Fes, you and your family are truly blessed. The level of appreciation that you have for it all is the part I respect the most. You are a smart man.

Thanks for sharing this with us all.

MEAKO...After a hard night imbibing,hobbits are EXACTLY! what we look like......Hobbits armed to the teeth......RICHSTAG, thank you for your kind words.... FES
 
I can only repeat what the others have said Fes, you are indeed a rich and blessed man to be able to go to such a place in nature and enjoy. That is a beautiful spot, and the lodge, man, what a way to getaway! :thumbup:

If Fes doesn't want this old book. I'd be quite happy to send it to one of the other Trad Kiwis if it's of interest. Duncan?
 
A great read and good pics. Thanks for posting. NZ is a beautiful place.
I can imagine you sneaking up on a big ole gobbler with a board and whack it off a fence - priceless!
I have always wanted to go to NZ to hunt - especially hogs.
Here is another pig....
