Waterfowl hunting is the practice of hunting ducks, geese, or other waterfowl for food and sport. In many western countries, commercial waterfowl hunting is prohibited, and duck hunting is primarily an outdoor sporting activity. Many types of ducks and geese share the same habitat, have overlapping or identical hunting seasons, and are hunted using the same methods. Thus it is possible to take different species of waterfowl in the same outing. Waterfowl can be hunted in crop fields where they feed, or, more frequently, on or near bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, ponds, swamps, sloughs, or oceanic coastlines.

Whaling is the hunting of whales for their usable products like meat, oil and blubber. Its earliest forms date to at least circa 3000 BC. Coastal communities around the world have long histories of subsistence whaling and harvesting beached whales. Industrial whaling emerged with organized fleets in the 17th century; competitive national whaling industries in the 18th and 19th centuries; and the introduction of factory ships along with the concept of whale harvesting in the first half of the 20th century. By the late 1930s more than 50,000 whales were killed annually In 1986, the International Whaling Commission banned commercial whaling because of the extreme depletion of most of the whale stocks.Contemporary whaling is subject to intense debate. Countries that support commercial whaling,...

Hot Water Beach is a beach on Mercury Bay on the east coast of the Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand, approximately 12 kilometres south east of Whitianga, and approximately 175 kilometres from Auckland by car.

Huntly section update – December 2018

The Huntly section will form part of the Waikato Expressway, connecting Auckland with the Waikato and Bay of Plenty.

The Huntly section involves 15km of four lane expressway, 4million m3 of earthworks, an 80m cut through the Taupiri Range, over 100ha of forest, bush and wetland enhancement and permanent protection of a sacred lagoon and two pa.

This construction project will connect the already completed Ohinewai section of the expressway to the Ngaruawahia section, which opened in late 2013; and reduce traffic congestion and improve safety within the Huntly and Taupiri townships by significantly reducing through traffic.

A Ride on the Tawhiti Bush Railway

This was filmed on the 22nd of October, 2016.

As evidenced by the title, this is a recreation of a bush railway. The Tawhiti Museum is near the town of Hawera. It is only around 1 kilometre long, but it is a great insight into life on the bush tramways, many of which ran all over New Zealand, bringing logs from the forest to the sawmill. Places like Ongarue and Mamaku were the place to go if you wanted to see large bush tramway operations.

Sadly, bush tramways in New Zealand are a thing of the past, having succumbed to road competition. I will plead ignorant on that one, because I'm not too familiar with the history of bush tramways.

Visit any model train show and you'll see why HO scale layouts and model trains are the most popular worldwide. Although not called HO scale in the UK, OO gauge (UK's most popular) is very close to the same size as HO model trains (HO scale is 1:87 compared to OO gauge at 1:76). It's popular because the scale is just such a practical size!
