New Zealand We said goodbye to our new found home in Melbourne, leaving our new found friends and work colleges behind but most importantly, leaving Colin who couldn’t be dragged away from his concrete production. Craig and I spent a short time travelling down the gold coast before embarking on our voyage to New Zealand for a very busy two weeks trying cover both north and south islands.
