Hi all – I hope I am not treading on anyone’s toes by starting this thread, if so please let me know.
I have so many pictures of NZ that may be of interest to others & rather than clog up someone else’s thread I decided to start this thread just to see if it generates any interest.
I would be really pleased if other members were to contribute non-contentious, non-political photos, articles etc – New Zealand content only.Cheers Val
