Now that I have that from a reputable source I decided I'd google it. Geeze, that story is 2 years old!
I was hoping to hear it was some crazy thing to do with evil plant roots interfering with all of the tech-bazillionaire bunkers they say you have over there!
The bunker stories are 90% fake as well - there are just a couple of wealthy recluses
They make south Wiarapa sound so great - it's not! - just a distant farming area with a very average climate and no real attractions

I'm trying to think of any other NZ things I should ask you about...
When is kiwifruit season?
They are a summer fruit - so November to February is the main season
Do you get the gold ones or just the hairy green ones?
I don't think I've ever had the gold ones. We do love the hairy green ones though!
I order fruit direct from farmers sometimes, oranges and stuff. I wonder how crazy it would be to order in from New Zealand. I shipped a book to Austrailia recently and that was $25. I bet it would be worth the air fare though. Maybe you could point me to an excellent little organic farmer practicing permaculture that happens to ship worldwide?! Anyone like that exist? The permaculture part might be a bit to ask but a girl can dream.
Are those true facts?
The gold ones are MUCH nicer
Where about do you live?
Yes the Kiwi stuff is all true - but the really interesting birds are Keas
All NZ birds are named after the noise they make
Kea - the smartest of all parrots!

Pennsylvania. A little bit of a trip for the tasty little things but now I really want to try the gold ones!
I will check out the Keas. Thank you! I've never heard of them but I love the look of those feathers.
That's funny. I didn't know that. So Kiwi's walk aroung saying "Kiwi"? I'm going to have to find a recording of that!
Don't miss what my mom's been doing!

No the Kiwi is an exception - they are silent except when they are pissed off - then they sort of go "squark" - check out this video
Keas -
Is Mary your mum? - I never knew that - she is awesome.
We are members of FANZ ourselves, but since I learned just how deep that plan runs I gave up doing much about it other than taking a fair bit of trouble to avoid drinking it or bathing in it
