  • Queenstown Gold Rush Hill climb

    My brother Scott and I headed up the Cardrona Valley to see the Queenstown Gold Rush hill climb. Monster Tajima (Suzuki Vitara) ended up winning, followed by Rod Millen (Toyota Celica) and Possum Bourne (Subaru Impreze WRX).

    There is a steep climb to the top of the hill

    This car was dropped from a helicopter. It shook the hell out of the ground when it landed! Apparently it was shot as part of a movie, I'm not sure what movie it was though. If you know what movie it was used in please let me know in the comments thanks :)

  • Black eye

    Dang nabbit this hurt! Andrew Wiffen and I had a miscommunication during a baseball game and we collided. Unfortunately he put his elbow up to protect himself and took out my eye in the process! Mum decided it wasn’t painful enough already and tortured me further by taking photos of it.

  • Holes at Toko Mouth

    Here are my holes from the mid-late 1980’s … actually, they’re not meant to be holes, the adults just didn’t get it. What I was trying to do was to create a barrier of sand so big that I could sit on the beach and watch the waves crash around me. It never worked very well (duh!) but I did build some rather large barriers in a vain attempt to stop the ocean. Wasted youth :p
