Hastings = pohutukawa?

[Big Dave]

I'm producing some brochures themed around 'Uniquely NZ'.
Cut a long story short - it's just eye candy - do photos of Pohutukawas and Hastings go together OK?

Can't say I have noticed too many pohutukawa in Hastings. Pohutukawa are a coastal tree, Hastings is an inland city.

Ah...no...Hastings+Gangs=Reality. But that's not what you were after, is it?
You'd be better to use orchards/general fruit trees

Yeah....Hastings and an Orange perhaps....:yes:

Hastings and Blossums :)

That is what I would link to Hastings if you want flowers/trees

Not much citrus commercially grown in HB. Mainly pip/stone fruit. And grapes.

Thanks all - i've only ever been through there a few times with the RATS. Blurrrr.

Vineyard maybe?

heres a couple of close to hastings pics

[Big Dave]

Thanks - I need hi res so it has to come from my own library - but I got HB vineyards.

I also have to do something for Papatoetoe, Mt Albert and Lower Hutt.

i was going to use a 'babbling brook' for LH, and a Koru for Papatoetoe?

Mt Albert has me stumped.

I reckon a vista of the hutt valley would be a good pic for lowerhutt...or a few sluts standing next to a pub...lmao!!!!

Going back a few years it was known as 'The Fruit Bowl of New Zealand' ....have'nt heard that expression in a while though. Bring back the 'Blossom Festival'....yeah..toffee apples and candy floss...choice:yes:

Is that the plural too?

[Hitcher]

Me too. It should be nuked. Try a photo of The Rt Hon Helen Clark standing in front of a state house.

I would think so. That's what seems to happen with Maori nouns.

Do they still do archery in the Mt Albert crater? Could be some shots there.

I suspect not quite the 'focus on the cultural diversity' called for in the brief!

Nice pun - and good idea, thanks - but the job is for a Private Hospital/Rest Home - they are already shooting through!
