flyingbrick Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 that depends..... do you work as a supermodel oiler or cider taster? the museum was a joke... but Hayes is awesome! such a special place. the museum shouldn't even bother having a burt room. any hobby shops here? I yellowpaged one but it appears its closed down ( or moved... but there are no relocation signs there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldturkey Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 Lots of big industry down in Invercargill. Just a shame it's so isolated from the rest of NZ. Weather gets a pretty bad rep but I don't think it's as bad as people make out. (except at this very moment by the sounds!) Go for a hoon along oreti beach. Always good for a laugh.
