    Ride on this tub at your peril!!! The biggest maritime disaster ever to sail New Zealand waters, it was built in Spain and has a Northern Hemisphere bow with a southern Hemisphere stern. It's not a wave piercing bow, so reacts terribly to the rough seas of the strait... and sat so proud of the waves for months after it arrived concrete trucks sat on the Picton wharf laden with concrete which was emptied into the bow to get the thing to ride low enough in the water to even dock at low tide in Wellington. It's still so unstable the hardwood sleepers wear out in six months and need replacement they last for years bearing tracks that are passed over at speed by fully laden trains Disgusting boat

As interesting was to watch the background scenery, so familiar after years of travelling to Auckland from Tutukaka, Northland to visit family, friends, boys attending Kings College, and working in Auckland 1980-85.

      The people left because the industry was based on exploitation of ancient forests and the trees ran out. It was a classic "rush to destruction" industry. When pines were planted the old mills weren't suitable for cutting pine logs because they were inefficient and produced too much waste. When they were raping nature wastage wasn't a concern. But when you grow a crop people value it more. The King Country has a proud pioneer heritage but a disgraceful record of caring or being responsible for nature. 93% of the West Taupo- King Country forests were logged in just a few decades after the second world war. Some of the giant 1000 year old totara trees had trunks the width of a highway lane. You can see one wasting away at this derelict mill. The giant totara were the world's largest podocarps and NZ's national iconic tree, but treated like rubbish. Giant rata trees were just as big, but most have succumbed to farmers' fires or possums. Many of the mills were burnt down to collect insurance money just as the trees or contracts were about to run our (at Pureora, for example).
