Two German tourists seen in this photograph, both from the Wicked Camper on the left were seen urinating in the open by a number of motorhomers yesterday at Ray's Rest at Kaiaua, on the Firth Of Thames.
Exactly the same place as a Frenchman in a Jucy Camper was photographed urinating a few days ago.
Somehow, some tourists think that New Zealand is one giant receptacle for them to relieve themselves at their convenience wherever and whenever they like!
Is that why they come here?
Would they like us to do it in their countries?
Would they give a damn?
These two Wicked tourists were approached by people here and were asked if they had a toilet. No was the reply. There's nothing wrong with what we're doing they said.
These are the sort of people who are giving 'Freedom Camping' a bad name in New Zealand and create huge problems for the folk who have spent many hundreds of dollars making their vehicles 'self contained'.
The president of the NZ Motor Caravan Association said a few months ago that 'these people should be shot!' I didn't agree with his 'figure of speech' at the time...
I've phoned Wicked and was told that the boss doesn't speak to people on the phone.
Such amazing arrogance!
Perhaps he'll answer my email.
Perhaps he'll do something about his clients showing disrespect to my beautiful country.
Perhaps pigs will fly...
Freedom, it's what we all crave and some like Kathy and Royce achieve it. Touring this beautiful country we call Aotearoa, the Land Of The Long White Cloud for some years now in their 1966 Bedford called Freedom Fix, Royce spends lots of time fishing for their supper and Kathy makes beautiful button and bead bracelets as well as gorgeous crazy quilting.
Please help protect our environment from the Department of Conservation!
Thanks for taking a length of pristine beach that wasn't eroding and doing unsightly things to it.
And some boys given a little authority and a bit of freedom will often act like irresponsible juveniles and even vandals.
Once upon a time this grand old lady of the road, this magic carpet, transported dreamers and their dreams from one marvellous place of freedom to the next
.
Well that's what the many customers who patronise this hardware shop think.
Tread carefully lest you step on my dreams.
Sorry you missed it.
I have always enjoyed good Billboard Art and this billboard is a wonderfully stunning and creative example of that medium. Congratulations to the advertising agency who thought of it, the client who approved the concept and to the city bureaucrats who allowed it to actually happen. It's not advertising paint by the way, it's promoting an insurance company... You'll find it at www.amusingplanet.com
This beauty from early last century passed through Kaiaua the other day and delighted everyone with its presence.
My friend Ben, you remember Ben, the creator of the Arthouse and my adjustable wooden Guitar Footstand.

One of the many beautiful housetrucks
A small investment in time and energy while enjoying the sun and there was a couple of beautiful 35cm flounder waiting in my net.
Photographer Daniel Fox must have said something that this Black and White Hawk Eagle took real exception to.
Photographed by Daniel Fox in the Argentine Jungle, this magnificent bird reminds me of Albert Einstein.
