Pam, thanks for putting these up!

I love the rainforest pics and your pics of the Purakaunui falls.

The Taieri pics have proved valuable already. Nobody believes me round
here that gorse is such a horror in NZ - so I have led certain people by
the nose to the screen. Thanks for the line underneath one of them
where you say they are considered "a weed". Maybe I will now be
believed, though I expect I will continue to hear "Ah, lovely yellow
gorse!" next time we're out in the car!


Right pain in the arse in gorse in NZ. Curse the immigrants for thinking it
made a nice 'hedge'. Big a pest as rabbits, stoats, ferrets, possums, goats,
thistles etc etc.
