What a Champ you are Gordon! And what lovely Children you have. How kind to give so much time, petrol and food. True gentleman. As a NZer and having never been to the lower South Island I love every minute of that. Thanks Mado for your cheery manners.

He’s an absolute gem 💎thanks for watching and hopefully we can make more videos like this. You should visit! It’s your own country and life is too short to miss out.

@fozzienz7616 6 месяцев назад

Hi Glen and Mado love your video two things not to miss in Invergargill is E Hayes and son hardware store great display of motor bikes including Bert Munroe's The Worlds Fastest Indian motor bike and his life made into a movie of the same name also Bill Richardson Motor World just not to be missed I live in Christchurch and love lower South Island especially Stewart Island. I always have a laugh when Glen mentions its quite around here but thats normal not many people live in New Zealand plus most live in Auckland and us in the South Island like it that way. Usually is windy around NZ coast because there is nothing but wild south pacific ocean out there and its the weather that makes our coastline so rugged and wild and amazingly beautiful

Cheese rolls are awesome because you can make them and throw them in the freezer. Then you just need to pull one out and throw it in the oven to toast and your done! Hot snack 👌 (I’m originally from South Canterbury 😁) Great vid as always! Awesome to have the tour from Gordon

Hi, thanks for the tour, I worked at the Smelter when I was younger. Hopefully it won't be there for ever. As you may have noticed it can be a very windy place. Stewart Island is very beautiful and peaceful, well worth a visit!! Even the journey to it can be real exciting.

Love your videos Glen and Mado. I would really love to see you learn some pre-colonisation history. Every place you visit has a history that pre-dates the arrival of the British. It’s beautiful, fascinating and sad. Our Māori culture is something you will not experience anywhere else in the world.

Masons were not so much a cult. Freemasonry evolved from the guilds of stonemasons and cathedral builders of the Middle Ages. Modern day they are a group of well meaning people who look after their community and each other. They do have a belief in a Supreme Being, and I understand they will not discuss religion or politics at their meetings. (Not sure if that still applies). Anyway my father was a Returned Serviceman from WW2 and there was a Mason Lodge for Returned Servicemen and he attended meetings in that very building you were shown. When my father passed away the care his lodge showed to my mother and us as a family was very special.

@johnpaki1534 6 месяцев назад

Hiya, my grandfather and many others who togeather fought valiantly and brilliantly with the 28th maori btln ww2 did not go unnoticed, my grandfather told me about a week apon returning home a strange Whiteman turned up at the door with a letter to pass on, the letter told my granfather he was granted a automatic prestiege acceptance for duties served in ww2, this group was calked the Buffalo club, I have no idea what or who these guys are, but it sounds dodgy to me, can someone elaborate plse

@ros4645 6 месяцев назад

@@johnpaki1534 Wow John, what a great man your grandfather must have been. The 28th Battalion was a fiercesome an hugely respected Battalion. There is an exhibition at Te Papa at the moment that features a lot of information about them. Yes I don't know for sure, but I am sure I have heard of the Buffalo Club. I think it might have been a lodge. If anyone else knows we would love to hear. I know you can hear about Buffalo Club in the USA, but this sounds like something in Southland?

If you watched the movie "The Fastest Indian" played by actor Antony Hopkin, The Beach you are on Oreti is where the real Burt Munro, Tested his Indian Motor cycle. He then went to America to race at Bonneville Utah's Salt lake. Herbert James "Burt" Munro was a motorcycle racer from New Zealand, famous for setting an under-1,000 cc world record, at Bonneville, on the 26th of August 1967. This record still stands; Munro was 68 and was riding a 47-year-old machine when he set his last record. You must watch the movie.

@Usernametouse 6 месяцев назад

Hey Glen & Mado, yea the mousetraps are a bit of nostalgia for us kiwis as we’d always make them as kids. You get a coupla eggs, cheese & corn & whisk it all up & chuck it under the grill, simple but filling 👌

@GBtrucklady 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for these. I’m going on a solo adventure, travelling to Christchurch, Invercargill and Dunedin in 4weeks on my way to my sister’s in Perth WA. You’ve given me some ideas of things to visit and see.

@@GlenAndMado Just to add to @fozzienz7616 comment regard Bert Munro, two things of interest. Bert used Oreti beach for his bike speed tests etc & Where Gordon dropped you guys off in Lithgow Street, further along that road, around the bend towards Tay street, beside the long since closed Lithgow Intermediate school (if any off it remains) was an empty section where a replica house & workshop was built for the movie "The worlds fastest Indian"

@trudimclaren4301 6 месяцев назад

It is ridiculously expensive to visit Stewart Island now - I've been once and would love to go back, but a holiday there from Dunedin would cost me the same as a holiday to Australia or the Pacific Islands. It's a bit sad, really - just for the wealthy now 😓

@cruiznnz 4 месяца назад

And no one gave you a taste of mutton bird. Normally I would have it in a boil up but some locals I met ran home and got me a freshly Roasted bird and damn that was yumdisious. Also did you try paua as well as Bluff Oysters?

Yeah the Tiwai aluminium smelter makes high grade aluminium and is low emissions because of the hydro electricity generation. It is owned by the Australian company Rio Tinto who have a very bad environmental and ethical reputation. The Tiwai smelter has caused environmental damage over its life that will cost about one billion dollars to clean up. Rio Tinto are refusing to pay. Toxins are leaking into the shallow seas where Bluff oysters are harvested.

@lindaclifton2460 3 месяца назад

Fat Bastard pies…not Fast….mouse trap has a mix and it has egg in it……best place to eat in Bluff is Hazes restaurant they have indigenous food blue card, Paua whitebait titty birds cooked lots of different ways, roasted salted, stewed and cold. They sell Paua chutney,Titty bird pate and much more crayfish, scampi, farmed abalone, and most of all Bluff oysters. Bluff is a beautiful town if you know what is there? Bluff has some great walks and tracks… I live in Invercargill but lived for 14 yrs in Bluff.. loved it.. the Eagle Hotel has good cheap clean rooms, and a warm bar and history of the Oyster boats… they also have a beautiful Māori 😮Marae in Bluff… look up our yearly Oyster Festival on utube.

@lesleyhughes3174 6 месяцев назад

Or aluminum as they say in the US 🙄

@MarkMcLT 6 месяцев назад

The smelter is a little bt controversial because it relies on cheap electricity, a lot of it - around 13% of NZ's total electricity supply. There have been multiple plans over the years to close the plant when the price of electricity has made the economics marginal, and given the impact on the local Soutland economy, this has made it a political football. There are also environmental concerns about the disposal of toxic waste produced by the plant.
