About Me

Cambridge, New Zealand
Sociologist, teacher, researcher, writer. Never thought of myself as an environmentalist until I moved to New Zealand. When a country uses so much poison that is banned in the rest of the world - with seemingly no regard for humanity, there's got to be a sociological explanation - this exploration is about finding one.

21-22 April 2017 Murchison enroute to Parnassus

NZMCA Murchison

Always a delight to stay in this site - mainly because the site has all the facilities you need and is literally right in the town centre. We love the local Backpackers  - the Lazy Cow  -which  - as I've written about before - cooks THE most delicious home-made pizzas.

Delicious pizza in Murchison

The local butchers was closed - surprisingly for a Saturday morning. And bearing in mind this is now the main route North/South in South Island (after the Kaikoura earthquake recked the main SH1), we were also surprised to see the only fuel station closed at 6pm (!) New Zealand is a strange place when it comes to customer service and retailers. Will I ever get used to this?  Can you imagine Egyptians for example, missing an opportunity for profiteering like this?!

Needless to say the guy running the busy Pizza bistro around the corner from the high street - open till late when we were there and also BYO - was a POM - from Devon. Nuff said. :)
