cave stream 2018

I realized we were doing it when I touched the freezing cold water soon as I touched it my body  I went fully numb. My most challenging part of the cave was the waterfalls on one of the waterfalls there were no places to put your feet. So you had to be pulled up and the water was going so fast it blew my shoe off. one My favourite parts was at the end when we were going up the ladder and stepping onto a little metal step then commando crawling under a bit of rock. you could feel the adrenaline
rushing through your body. My other favourite part was when I was going over all the obstacles like waterfalls, giant rocks, giant holes and much more.What I'm taking away from cave stream is that if you're prepared anything is possible.

hollyford road


(this is not my own opinion)

I believe that building the road from Haast to Milford sounds is a good idea because it would give Milford sounds and Haast way more tourism. If the road was built it would cut off a couple of hours travel

springbok tour 1981 supporter rugby side


Imagine if you came to a rugby game just wanting to watch a game of rugby when these protesters came to the game and slowed it down by chucking flour bombs onto the field. Mainly the apartheid law in south Africa so black people didn’t have the same rights as white people springboks didn’t want Maori players in the test games. That's why the protesters were protesting against the test matches. After the protesters couldn’t get their way passively they resulted in violence to get into the stadium.This is what south African journalist said about the test “BAD ENOUGH HAVING TO PLAY OFFICIALLY DESIGNATED NEW ZEALAND NATIVES, BUT SPECTACLE THOUSANDS EUROPEANS FRANTICALLY CHEERING ON BAND OF COLOURED MEN TO DEFEAT MEMBERS OF OWN RACE WAS TOO MUCH FOR SPRINGBOKS WHO FRANKLY DISGUSTED.”
