Had a year on Raoul Island as a mechanic then worked as a diesel fitter at Auckland,Whangarei Rotorua and Waiuku. Developed health problems and had to give up work. Moved to Australia in 1990 and was there for 16 yrs. did part time voluntary work in bush regeneration and weed control work. Returned to NZ at Easter 2006. Quite hard getting used to the cold.Good to be back with family. Good luck to all the old classmates,sorry to see so many passed on. Cheers,Terry
