If that's the Mangawhai in Northland, it's a) a nice place, and b) a long way from us... We're 50km north of Christchurch (east coast South Island). But if you get down this way, be good to catch up. Not so many thunderstorms here though... ;-)
We do get to Aussie from time to time - we'll be with friends in Brisbane in a couple of weeks, and we have family in Sydney, but seldom get out into the back blocks...
