Volunteering is a great way of making new friends, come close to birdlife and to keep fit, Have done volunteering in a number of occasions i.e. Project Jonah, volunteer planting days etc. Check out various volunteer websites, it's great. Up here in Auckland you can volunteer and see kiwis on the conservation projects on Motuihe and Tiri Tiri Matangi.

Volunteering at Zealandia nature sanctuary today. Lots of oddball birds here; hope to see some baby kiwis. Have you done this sort of thing? http://bit.ly/vOjfi5

I played rugby Ed so it's funny to see these great ruggers in this video. Watched it three times and laughed.

Koru, I couldn't get your link to work, but I know the videos you mean, and you're right: They're a hoot. For example....

"100% Pure:" one of the most exciting tourism videos I've ever seen. I actually went to youtube to see it again. Please fasten your seatbelts.

These are fantastic courses... at a price... for the average golfer who wants to meet locals...rather than other tourists....I would highly recommend playing local town and village courses where you will meet the local members at very reasonable prices.  Balclutha Golf Club comes to mind as one of the friendliest and welcoming group of little ball hitters anywhere.

You're absolutely right, Koru: I asked the golfers which course they were referring to, and it was the one at Kauri Cliffs Resort.  They were pretty wild about the resort itself, too. They mentioned Cape Kidnappers Lodge as a good alternative if you don't have money to burn.

@Ed. I am sure you mean Kauri Cliffs Resort at Matauri Bay, one of the most beautiful resorts and lanscape of Aotearoa. I do regular tours up there to take golfers who are always blown away by the stunning golf course and lodge. This as well as Matakauri Lodge and Cape Kidnappers Lodge is owned by american Julian Robertson by the way.
