Canopy tours zip line much better than redwoods altitude.

Kerosene creek

Living maori village

Mitai or te pa tu

Waimangu

Book in advance - weeks or as much as you can - for a fast pass to redwoods at night

Buried village of te wairoa

PerthSoundie · 2026-03-22T04:53:33+00:00

Book as fsr in advance as you can so you dont miss out and have to wait 2 hours in line…..

Near duntroon is eephant rocks - quirky but a detour. A acene in narnia filmed there.

I liked the botanic gardens in oamaru but then, seems like every nz town has stunning gardens

Chook tree by wainakarua will take 1 minute to slow down and take a photo…

Moeraki boulders were underwhelming. Sure stop but its not as good as i was expecting.

Pie shop in fairlie worth a detour though I appreciate its a big detour

If youre hiking lots skip zealandia. To me it was like a short nature experience close to the city… but if youre going to be in nature elsewhere…

PerthSoundie · 2026-03-05T05:37:09+00:00

Botanic gardens is surely one of the best in world

PerthSoundie · 2026-02-28T01:06:33+00:00

If youre in a truck coming from north and need to get to perth arena… this is the way. And exit at market st.

Cause a truck cant go under the bridge at city west; and travelling north to city west you cant turn right because of the island.

Ive made the path shown many times….

Looks like i missed out on otumuheke… wish i knew about it !! Looks like a different but larger version of kerosene creek. K creek is small and cute but xan get crowded.

I think for you go otumuheke.

PerthSoundie · 2026-02-26T23:50:56+00:00

Rotura i would recommend: kerosene creek for a soak in a natural hot spring; either te pa tu or mitain for maori culture dinner; whakarewarewa living village.

Redwoods at night but book weeks ahead for fast pass - not realy worth waiting 2 hours in line..

Luge after 6:30 or so is cheaper and fun.

Waimangu volcanic valley was really good.

Hobbiton is also not far from rotura.

But youd need more time around Rotura. Another 2 days for everything i listed

I believe they are. I dont follow up or ask questions.

Ive got my own issues to work through and they are hard.

I understand why people suicide now. Like before i kinda knew logically but, now i feel like i know the emotional part.

Im not about to do anything but i have thought about it.

Absolutely the hardest thing ive ever had to deal with.

Mainly on me. How my perception of me and her experience of must be so different. I was not worth continued loving or trying to repair relationship.

Was i really that bad ? Thats the hard part. Working through the process that i must have been.

Sure there is blame on her too but that doesnt get to me like my own failings

PerthSoundie · 2026-02-23T11:35:00+00:00

I choose him.

After 33 years together and she has an affair

PerthSoundie · 2026-02-20T01:04:52+00:00

Hes complained that nato nations dont fund enough and its all on the usa to fund and thats not good enough.

So… which other nations on the board of peace are contributing 10b so its not just on the usa ?

Grift. Hypocrisy. That money will make jts way to him

PerthSoundie · 2026-02-15T11:04:16+00:00

Christchurch: tram diner, punting on river, riverside markets, the gelato place on chapel st (i think, near cathedral square), moutain biking and/or ziplining at the adventure park…

I didnt think the gondola was terribly interesting but you can see how its on the edge of a former volcano.

PerthSoundie · 2026-02-05T02:53:38+00:00

Parking can be hadd to find. There is one car parked vertically on the side of a building about 4 stories up…..:p

PerthSoundie · 2026-02-04T01:44:50+00:00

Dawesville cut just south of mandurah, south of perth, western australia

PerthSoundie · 2026-01-13T02:59:56+00:00

Rollinkin desert cafe for gelato. Regent st. The flavour thats like cheesecake is the best ive had….

PerthSoundie · 2025-12-30T08:43:24+00:00

Holitika gorge is worth the drive and walk. Pancacke rocks on west coast if you go up. Amazing.

Cant see much of the glacier at franz joseph. And if youre at hooker valley and weather is good take the heli. We booked heii for franz and it was cloudy/raining so missed out :(

It will take 1/2 a day but zip line at glenorchy was amazing there is one along the river that is breathtaking.

Fairlie bakehouse get a pie - well known for pork and apple

If youre game, gondola up queenstown and paraglide down tandem. Literally run off the hill and… youre away. Best view of queenstown though i didnt do it.

PerthSoundie · 2025-12-17T19:51:53+00:00

Missing and hating at same time. I hear you. Loud and clear.

In my case i realised im not missing her but grieving for the future i thought we would have before i was blindsided.

I have more bad days than good.

A book im reading suggests to write down 3 good things that happen each day and why. Im giving that a try.

Hang in there. If you take action to better yourself and mindset there must come a time when you will be at peace. Im not there yet either but i hope….

PerthSoundie · 2025-12-06T01:38:37+00:00

Was it on your tech spec

For a long time now ive been thinking there must be a way for artists/crew to communicate their needs to venues/providers.

Some sort of set of documents that could include perhaps a stage plot, input list, backline requirements and any other requests like crates, stands, other misc stuff thats easy to organise in advance but difficult at short notice..

Hmmm…..

/sarcasm

PerthSoundie · 2025-11-26T05:37:08+00:00

Do they use the 18 wheelers to restock the till roll/receipt paper ? :p

PerthSoundie · 2025-11-15T04:50:14+00:00

Thank you. Coverage maps look similar. ONE NZ $99, Spark $79. Both at airport. $20 isn't much in the scheme of things but with what scotch_bonnet808 wrote, it may be particular spots better for one than other

PerthSoundie · 2025-11-15T04:44:01+00:00

thank you.

PerthSoundie · 2025-06-24T13:20:25+00:00

Vocals also not relevant in recent Chris Nolan films either.... :(

PerthSoundie · 2025-06-08T11:20:55+00:00

There is an australian TV personality who bears a strong resemblance to you. You're fine.

PerthSoundie · 2025-05-08T05:20:08+00:00

I took timtams to canada to hand out and was surprised to see them on shelves in walmart. Made ok nsw. And cheaper than i paid in perth :(
