Ref visits New Zealand - March 2007

In March 2007 Ref packed his bags for the Southern Hemisphere, on a trip to New Zealand and Australia. After a mammoth 36 hour journey taking in Bangkok, Sydney and Brisbane, Ref finally arrived at his destination: Auckland.

Andy, Debbie and Ref check out the view of Auckland from one of the city's many volcanic cones. Watch it doesn't erupt Ref!

Debbie and Ref check out Manukau Harbour.

Rich and Ref stand at the top of a rather windy One Tree Hill. For years a lone pine tree stood here but it was attacked by a Maori protestor with a chain saw and removed in 2000. Ref shows None Tree Hill the red card...

Ref admires the obelisk at the top of One Tree Hill.

After two fantastic weeks in New Zealand, Ref hopped on a plane and crossed the Tasman Sea to Melbourne, Australia...
