Banner Day - Waimamaku Beach 23rd October 2013
on 23rd November 2013, many thousands of New Zealanders headed to the west coast beaches, to protest against deep sea oil exploration. As an another attempt to get our government to listen to the people of New Zealand, that they are against exploiting our seas for oil, our land for minerals and stop selling of our assets. As the government legislates against the rights of the people to protest, allow them to spy on its own people and to restrict what we can grow and sell. Enough already John Key. STOP

Kupe Classic 2018
Easter Weekend, Kupe Classic 2018 in Mitimiti, West Coast of the Hokianga.
Starting at Mama Labbies in Panguru, driving through Waihopai & Mitimiti, driving to the fishing comp at Uncle Charlie Dunn's in Taikarawa (the slow-mo at 1:58 is because I used to live by those Bach's as a child). Also the occasional view from the go pro on my dog Miss Lily Black #AdventuresOfLilyBlack. Ending with a swim in the Blue Lake hidden up on the sand dunes in Mitimiti.

so many bullets went flying when the bad bunch rode into town trying to find themselves some women to keep them company.
Experience Hokianga Northland Hokianga
Science on the Hokianga
Today we visited the Hokianga in the northern part of New Zealand. The aim was to sample an ancient swamp preserved amongst the sand dunes. Importantly, this area is also the birthplace of Maori New Zealand and continues to have huge cultural significance. Working with the local community we crossed the Hokianga and made good time climbing a ridiculously steep slope. Far up a gorge, we found the metre thick deposit eroding out from the dunes. Wood and swamp muds preserve a record of what this majestic part of the world must have looked like tens of thousands of years ago. We collected some samples for analysis back in the lab, including for radiocarbon dating which will give us an age on when the swamp was formed; I'll post the age when the numbers come through from the University of Waikato.
An absolutely stunning day in an incredibly special part of the world.
