This was a two-for-one stop with Rachel & Martin Johnson and Philip Campbell - which I also did not get to - once again if you have any photos, we would appreciate sharing them.

Rachel & Martin Johnson and Philip Campbell The woolshed at Rushbrooke has presided over the entry to Waitohou Valley for many years. It is a local landmark on the top of the rise where the Horowhenua lowlands begin to meet the Tararuas. Following rigorous cleaning and mild gentrification, the shed has been given a new lease of life, nudging it into a more domestic role of cosy ambience and welcoming charm. The shed has witnessed many changes including the establishment of a Christmas tree property across the road. Wander through 8000 Californian Redwoods, Sequoia and traditional pines being groomed and shaped for the annual Christmas market.
