MUSICAL SPOTS AND RESIDENTIAL PLOTS

Boys and girls, our newest paid member Brendon has a message for Whangarei Vegans and our friends about his property up around Broadwood:
 
🍀"Hello, all Vegan & Plant-based travelers. Are you looking for your own land or place to stay?  A 45-hectare slice of 90-hectare QEII National Trust Pvt Land is available to buy from me, the owner.
 
You can live in part of my Coven to view, see and buy this if it suits your lifestyle ... a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
 
There are 3 sites (I'm based in one ).  For the other 2, one Title of 90.4 hectares can only get divided into 2 at 45 hectares each or 2 separate Estates/Houses/owners.  There are gates for the 2 optional undeveloped sites depending on where the person'/s wanted to stay or set up RV. If bought, no rates until a certified planned house is built... then Council rates will apply on the bought half or 45-hectare block.
 
Ideally, 2 people or more would be suitable.  Must be experienced in off-grid living and need self-contained RV Car/caravan initially. Water is limited unless a basic carport and tank are set up.... would take a whole page to describe the Forest, so keeping it short here, other than to say the Forest is close to Humphreys Rd cnr Whangape Track Road, if looking on Google map, which is about 13km on sand road to Broadwood Gas Station shop.
 
NB... The Covenant rules state zero nada zilch pets ever, unfortunately. 
 
If interested pls contact Billy for more information. 
 
Oh, hey, that must be me!  Ring me on 027-253-7768 and I’ll tell you what I know.  (Well, not about gnu-racing in the Andes.....)
 
In other gnus, as a partial offset to the misery of a Government extending illegal treatment of mama pigs for another 10 years, I found a bit of joy seeing/hearing my parody of “The Sound of Silence” performed by a professional singer on YouTube.  As you will hear explained if you watch it, I had emailed Caldwell Esselstyn (1 of the 2 doctors who have kept me alive, along with my darling vegan G.P. and a wonderful nurse practitioner at the hospital) a set of lyrics telling him how I was getting along on my cleaned-up, ultra-high-kale diet a year ago, back when I was still struggling [I’m almost cured now].  You will also hear what sounds like a description of me as a recent convert to plant-based eating.  My veganism, as you might know, is not recent at all, unless placed against the Earth’s geological timeline.  Or the longevity of Winston Peters’s political career.  But I suppose the inference was easier than explaining that I developed severe atherosclerosis despite 45+ years of veganism because I had inherited a liver which makes heaps and heaps of fats out of the fruit juice, dried fruit and white flour I had blithely abused all my life.  Anyhoo, find the talent show I accidentally inspired at:

 https://www.youtube.com/live/AOsEkg9Z9M4.

The show actually starts at 1:20 in.  Or you can stare at the same image for that long if you’d prefer.  Far be it from me to presume that you are modern-day hotshots with better things to do than wait 80 seconds for a show to a show to begin!
 
You do not have to wait much longer for this blog to end, however.  Good luck and good health to all of us in 2026.
 
Love,
Billy
