Dot we have the same Gas Heater very happy with it.

Just had mine serviced yesterday as it was getting hard to start.
Gas woman adjusted the regulator on the bottle and its perfect again. She did say it was now fully adjusted and if it gets hard to start again I will need a new regulator.

HOW THE KIWI LOST ITS WINGS

One day, Tanemahuta was walking through the forest. He looked up at his children reaching for the sky and he noticed that they were starting to sicken, as bugs were eating them.


He talked to his brother, Tanehokahoka, who called all of his children, the birds of the air together.

Tanemahuta spoke to them.

"Something is eating my children, the trees. I need one of you to come down from the forest roof and live on the floor, so that my children can be saved, and your home can be saved. Who will come?"

All was quiet, and not a bird spoke.

Tanehokahoka turned to Tui.

"E Tui, will you come down from the forest roof?"

Tui looked up at the trees and saw the sun filtering through the leaves. Tui looked down at the forest floor and saw the cold, dark earth and shuddered.

"Kao, Tanehokahoka, for it is too dark and I am afraid of the dark."

Tanehokahoka turned to Pukeko.

"Pukeko, will you come down from the forest roof?"

Pukeko looked down at the forest floor and saw the cold, damp earth and shuddered.

"Kao, Tanehokahoka, for it is too damp and I do not want to get my feet wet."

All was quiet, and not a bird spoke.

Tanehokahoka turned to Pipiwharauroa.

"Pipiwharauroa, will you come down from the forest roof?"

Pipiwharauroa looked up at the trees and saw the sun filtering through the leaves. Pipiwharauroa looked around and saw his family.

"Kao, Tanehokahoka, for I am busy at the moment building my nest."

All was quiet, and not a bird spoke. And great was the sadness in the heart of Tanehokahoka, for he knew, that if one of his children did not come down from the forest roof, not only would his brother loose his children, but the birds would have no home.

Tanehokahoka turned to Kiwi.

"E kiwi, will you come down from the forest roof?"

Kiwi looked up at the trees and saw the sun filtering through the leaves. Kiwi looked around and saw his family. Kiwi looked at the cold damp earth. Looking around once more, he turned to Tanehokahoka and said,

"I will."

Great was the joy in the hearts of Tanehokahoka and Tanemahuta, for this little bird was giving them hope. But Tanemahuta felt that he should warn kiwi of what would happen.

"E kiwi, do you realise that if you do this, you will have to grow thick, strong legs so that you can rip apart the logs on the ground and you will lose your beautiful coloured feathers and wings so that you will never be able to return to the forest roof. You will never see the light on day again."

All was quiet, and not a bird spoke.

"E kiwi, will you come down from the forest roof?"

Kiwi took one last look at the sun filtering through the trees and said a silent goodbye. Kiwi took one last look at the other birds, their wings and their coloured feathers and said a silent goodbye. Looking around once more, he turned to Tanehokahoka and said,

"I will."

Then Tanehokahoka turned to the other birds and said,

"E Tui, because you were too scared to come down from the forest roof, from now on you will wear the two white feathers at your throat as the mark of a coward.

Pukeko, because you did not want to get your feet wet, you will live forever in the swamp.

Pipiwharauroa, because you were too busy building your nest, from now on you will never build another nest again, but lay your eggs in other birds nests.

But you kiwi, because of your great sacrifice, you will become the most well known and most loved bird of them all."

Well we are here in the Nerren Nerren rest stop once again, what the hell do people get out of running a piddling genny for hr upon hr just charging batteries??? when we came in there was a caravan on the bend on the gravel roadway with his awning fully out and his little red put put whining along. He has since put the 'in the way awning" back where it should be. Then another van came in and sort of set up with about 40ft between them and the verbals began, so the latest van in did a circle and is now about 50ft away from the genny van This is a big area and heaps of room so why did the bloody caravan and their wiz banger friends have to park right up our cars tail pipe?? And people wonder why we like to find the hidden gravel pits Even with loos here there is still those dam bush roses not 20ft from the loos, filthy pigs. One of the dump points had a "full" sign on it but the man has just been and pupped the loo and the "full" dump point out Beautifully warm with a gentle cool breeze so time for a drinkey poo. end of gripe for now

[Dot]

Went to do shopping today and called into the Info centre in good ol down town Geraldton and asked where the dump point was "None here" was the reply and the council say they can't justify the 100+ $$ to put one in and with all the "new" bylaws these days etc etc BUT the good old caravan parks have them and charge around the $5 a dump How come they can put dump points out in the middle of no where and yet can't put one in a town the size of this???
