Polluted streams often go unreported & continue to carry dirty run-off from 'Industrial' Farming in New Zealand. For example the beautiful Waikato River is too polluted to swim in for a lot of it's length. Lake Taupo receives polluted run-off from dairy farms in it's catchment area - the outflow goes into the river system & endangers swimmers. Pollution from Tanneries in Hawkes Bay is allowed to flow practically unrestricted into nearby rivers & is 'disposed' of in the ocean. These are but a few examples of the hidden results of extensive industrial farming in NZ, contrary to what we are told by the Tourism Industry - a vision of Clean, Green New Zaland !
my latest project is to build a tree house in the Liquid Amber tree just near the deck in the house at Mangawhai New zealand. The idea is to have a space to chill out in the shade of this beautiful tree. Due to many other projects coming up, as they do, the tree house is on hold. But in the meantime I've built a Yurt. Never did get to build the tree house but built a yurt & acquired 7 Mongolian Yurts too. Now back in UK & having a BALL.
