Pics of section

A map provided by the Rangitikei District Council of the paper-road on the property.

You can see that some of the baches are inside the council boundaries.



This pic shows going through the gate where the section starts and then you turn hard left and go along the fence line about 100 metres.

The view looks back to the gate. You can see the river in the background and the stockyards to the right by the trees.

Quick rundown of meeting weekend

Friday

* Saw the Westpac Bank - Organised bank statements to do tax year ending 31 March 2011. Also confirmed process to change bank account signatories
* Saw Murray Carey, the accountant - Determined what was needed to do our tax for the year ending 31 March 2011. Will follow up at Trust meeting
* Went on tour of the section with Tohe Manawaroa-Te Aweawe (fellow trustee) and Bob Craig (farmer with grazing lease on the property). A lot bigger than I imagined and a lot of fun on the back of a quad bike. Took a few pics and will post some when I can.
* Tohe and I discussed the beach with the environmental services team leader of the Rangitikei District Council - couldn't say too much as the Trust had not had an opportunity to meet yet.

A long day with a lot achieved and am happy with how things went.
