Section at Castle Hill

We've just been lucky enough to purchase a section at Castle Hill on which we hope to build a "bach" (Kiwi-speak for a holiday house) when we've saved enough funds to actually allow us to build something!
View of whole section from next section NWThis shows our section (across the laneway) looking SE towards the Torlesse Range.
View NW from middle of sectionThis is the view NW from the middle of our section towards the Mt. Cheeseman & Broken River skifields.
Incidentally, I was up near the village on Sunday mountain-biking at Craigieburn.

Transportation

Made a transport investment to continue my eco-friendly commute to work, and bought another Giant bike. Unfortunately, I can see these skinny tyres being a lot less resilient to punctures, although the seat looks a bit more comfortable that the one on my Trance X1.
