South of the Bombays

Nice work from the Herald, illustrating how removed some people in Auckland can be from the rest of the country.

Skifields open early

5.00am Monday May 29, 2006

Skiers and snowboarders got a welcome surprise yesterday as the first of the New Zealand's skifields opened.

Mt Dobson skifield, in central Marlborough, opened its fields.

.....

I guess Mackenzie and Marlborough both start with "M"...

Great news for Dobson though...
