The confronting truth of what happened in our recent past is something New Zealanders have to reckon with. When the Treaty of Waitangi was signed, Māori owned more than 66 million acres of land. By 1975, almost 97 per cent had been sold or taken.

'VANDAL-PROOF' FRONT GATE POST LAMPS. Hi there everyone. Thought I might share another short 'how-to' video clip.

Hi there everyone. Thought I might share another short 'how-to' video clip. Sadly the post lamps at the entrance to our property have been getting vandalised - a pity as we only want the place to look nice and it adds a bit of security. Anyway I've developed some new style post lamps which are indestructible. OK, I'll admit they're only translucent rubber balls from the warehouse but they seem to do the job. Now if they're punched, karate-kicked, or whatever, they simply bounce back to life. :) Not sure if anyone else out there is having these issues, but if so, perhaps this little presentation might be useful. Enjoy...or...laugh! Cheers...
