I can clearly remember one of the happiest days of my life. It was a Sunday the summer of 1981, I was 19 years old and working for the New Zealand Forest Service, before it became DOC รข€“ and before I became a doctor. I was in the headwaters of the Rangitikei River, deep in the Kaimanawa Ranges and had been there for eight weeks, counting birds, plants and deer droppings. It was a grey miserable day and we were rained in ; living in a tent for two months with three other guys, I had tent fever. So, I decided to walk for 10 hours in the rain to our next helicopter food drop and collect our Christmas mail. No wi-fi (there was no internet back in those days, and even today I am guessing there would still be no coverage at the Mangamaire Junction) so it was just letters and stamps.
