Cant wait for the track to open will be up there as soon as it does. The only fear I have is the health and safety no fun mongers will keep this track closed for a very long time. 1080 has been the savior of our national parks. Deer are a pest animal here in New Zealand in case a tourist reading this was to be mislead into think it was a bad thing.

While watching this I suddenly had visions of the 1997 Movie Dantes Peak where People's safety is being set against economical interests. Interesting how Hollywood always seems to predict the future. I am surprised that people have not flocked to the mountains though as they have no trouble flocking to the beaches when there is a Tsunami warning..
