[beachfrontal]

Now what was it you tried chewing ?the video did not explain ,chewing tabacco was my guess, or galibaldi leaves hahahaha I know we have garibaldi bisuits, I have no idea what garibaldi is though !!! I feel a Go Ogle search coming on hahahaha .cheers David.

[ilovemaniototo]

Oh David I have all the explanations in more info if you care to look Ha Ha!!!

[beachfrontal]

I have just been there,and had a good read, and whats more that's very very interesting history in them there hills my dear.I see it was chewy, I just could not understand a New Zealander doing chewy now it's all makes sense a Yank !!, and I didn't expect the Ford to be still up and running so no surprises there

[beachfrontal]

I was waiting for tigers, lions, crocodiles to emerge at one stage, boy!! it looked just like a Safari in the Serengeti specially when you were all on the flat back standing up and bouncing down that trail, Sun bathing on Christmas day,also looked amazing sun hat and all.One great Family day out,do you still have the Ford car I wonder? why do I doubt it. lovely video, very appreciated this end.. 55555 David.
