My Half Day off, in New Plymouth

Local flowers.



Two cars from AmeriCARna day. A yearly festival over here, where hundreds of cars go on show. But unfortunately I missed it due to working late!!!

The native bird of New Zealand, the 'Kiwi'. Well a stuffed one, due to the fact that these birds are becoming an endangered species.

Pohokura Field, Offshore New Zealand

This is the Rockwater 2, the vessel that I am currently working on. She is a construction and dive support vessel. The vessel is currently working out of New Plymouth, and the mountain you can see in the background is Mount Taranaki.
