Thanks for that Wayno. Some lovely shots.

I will certainly miss his humour.

And at night the wondrous glory of the everlasting stars.

not sure how familiar Aussies are with his Fred Dagg the farmer character satire in NZ where he lampooned the "she'll be right" farmer stereotype, theres a lot of him on youtube...
he chose a simple character so that he could think on his feet and ad lib everything as he went along.

I was in NZ when Fred Dagg was about with his dog.
I liked his son Trevor, not so much his other son Trevor.
(at the time every male New Zealander not called Fred was called Trevor)
