When I get home tonight - got 10,000 or so there - you can't miss in NZ
It's really nice looking through them all, brings back some great memories, beats doing any work, and is making me get all excited about going tramping/fishing/surfing/snowboarding
Only 3 days until the weekend

Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
Oh you guys, You're getting me into trouble!!!!!!!!!!!! We're too far out of town to get broadband so just on super slow dial up. I sat here ages seemed like a few hours yesterday letting all these gorgeous pics download. Got yelled at by a friend & my hubby last night for spending too much time on the internet & they couldn't get through on the phone
Oh well here we go again. Keep them coming they're great.
Can't wait for our daughter to get here in 3 weeks, I think weather permitting we're going up to Abel Tasman to do the kayaking & now Kaikoura has become a definite must.

Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
Same here in Auckland...although were I live we have some great views of the Waitakere Ranges (not quite the same as the southern alps but beggars cant be choosers) and right now thru my work window I have a view of the Lion Nathan Breweries...just makes you dream of drinking a lovely cold beer
Yeah, I mean how many pictures of seagulls and beaches can you take ? Does the Skytower compete with a nice pic of a whale ? Even with the best sunset you can imagine
Maybe a picture of a beer, that will throw them
In fact I think it was Sky that posted a pic of a jug of beer. Maybe we can start a boring old Auckland thread . I know, lots of pictures of folk in t-shirts and shorts , mind you there has been a wee nip in the air.Roll on Easter, hoping to get up North and brush the cobwebs of our camera.
Oh well, I guess it’s the zoo for us again this weekend

Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
Traffic light tazzies - two of us had 9 Rainbows in two days out of Lake Daniels - pretty epic fishing trip - biggest was 5 1/2 lb, put that back, but kept a couple of the smaller ones.
It's a top spot - about a 3 hour tramp in, then a few more hours getting through the bush round the lake to get to the good fishing spots. Totally deserted, and full of trout.
