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

Stupid church my mum forced me to have my photo taken at by Lake Tekapo

Xmas Presents

Adrian Moore checking out my Tamiya Super Sabre Quick Drive. That thing still works, albeit I bent a suspension arm by jumping it off a two metre drop in 2008.

QE2 park in Christchurch

Family trip to QE2 park in Christchurch some time in the 1980′s.

My first experience driving a go kart. Unfortunately my feet couldn't touch the pedals so Dad needed to ride with me!

Mount Cargill Scouts

Yes I was a Cub Scout - don’t hold it against me :p

This is us on a trip up Mount Cargill in Dunedin, New Zealand. This would have been some time in the 1980′s, not sure of the exact year though.

Fishing

This was the last time I went fishing. As you can see, the last time I went fishing was quite successful :) I think I got about 10 fish in total. Unfortunately the adults at all of my fish, I never got to have any :(
