Hi Stu,
Speaking of Kiwis, something has just come to my memory.
I reside in a country which is antypodal to New Zealand; in a small seaside town, of 20 000 inhabitants.
Can you beleive that one day, back in the sixties, a yacht landed in our little harbour, and two girls came ashore, having decided to stay around for a couple days; actually they were hitch-hikers who had taken a ride in that yacht.
They home town was Auckland.
I came to find out that one of the girls, eventualy blonde haired, had a Maori mother.
End of story
