dvdskv 30 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) My uncle lives on the s.island and very nearly did it a few years back. We had a bit money behind us and all was gonna go through until we found out our 6 month old was blind. But my advice to anyone who has the chance is just go for it. Think of the experiences you'll have,places to see , excellent hunting and fishing. Put it this way my uncle went when he was 16 and he's still there now at 53, ATB Edited October 24, 2012 by dvdskv Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnGalway 1,043 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Have a look at the blog in this link, about a UK guy who's gone dairying in NZ. If you email him he might have some tips and ideas for you as well. I don't know him, only read the blog, but he seems a nice enough sort. http://farmingforum.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=71454&highlight=blog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
