We had a couple of days in Mt Maunganui that I was looking forward too , mainly because my kids used to live there and we spent some good times on the beach and even managed to climb "the mount" (as locals call it) one brave xmass day. Well, this trip wasn't so great due to the fact that my hotel had construction going on next door from 6.30am till 7pm. I won't name the hotel in order to protect the innocent , but here's w ...

My neighbours had been having a bit of a tidy up and this is the truck picking up the bin. I like the rhythmic nature of the sounds in this one , after a while the gentle "pulsing" is relaxing.

(A ford fiesta now incase you're wondering) I was chatting to him today, something that is difficult at the best of times due to his limited english. Anyway, turns out him and the family are moving out into a bigger house. Not surprising really, the block of units I live in have only 2 bedrooms , a small lounge , and to make things worse for him and his wife they have two teenage daughters and only one ...

(from wikipedia again). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haka Although the use of a haka by the All Blacks has made one type of haka familiar, it has led to misconceptions. Haka are not exclusively war dances, nor are they only performed by men. Some are performed by women, others by mixed groups, and some simple haka are performed by children. Haka are performed for various reasons: for amusement, as a heart ...

Thanks to the magic of protools and being able to tell it how long to record for , here's 5.30am today. Thankfully I was exercising my tonsils! Just a reminder for those that may not know , I live in the suburbs and around 1km (3/4 mile) from the main highway north & south. Hope that explains the traffic rumble in the distance and the odd bang or crash you may hear in my recording. I'm not going to edit it out as this is what it sounded like at that moment in time.

He goes to the local park and records frogs.... I thought about editing out the cars but my recordings are of a "space in time." Sometimes that means cars and other distractions , I'm not after a clinical super-clean sound but more of a "slice of life." It's just what I do. The loud squawk you hear at the start is a pukeko (as shown in the photo) I have no idea what sort of frogs they are and have never heard th ...

I was looking for a good spot to listen to the birdlife (being sand dunes there's not many birds around) when I came across some foliage that had these guys singing away. It's one of my favourite recordings at the moment and I think you'll understand why when you have a listen. Remember, when at the beach take only memories and leave only footprints.

The reserve honours the memory of Te Rangihiwinui Kepa (Major Kemp) who fought for government forces against Te Kooti, Titokowaru and Tamaikowha during the land wars of the 1860s.

The wetlands were once part of a freshwater lake, which was denied its source by the lava flows from the Maungarei (Mt Wellington) eruptions some 9000 years ago.
