Hey, it's great news to me, since I probably won't ever set foot in New Zealand in this lifetime. I always thought I would like to visit there, more so after reading John A.'s comments from his time there (John, did you ever read "Battle Cry" by Leon Uris?)
Anyway, Gavin does some nice work, and I'm glad to see it. Keep it coming!
