Lucy RileyGUEST
She came out with all bent up b- back legs and took her a wee while to straighten up and actually be able to stand, but she grew into what was a pretty nice calf.
Lucy RileyGUEST
So I took her out to Dairy Event and Waihi show for my first two shows with my own stock as such, well, Mom and Dad's stock.
Lucy RileyGUEST
Um- And now she's just kept growing and she's turned into a pretty nice cow.
SelwynHOST
A nice cow.
Michelle ToppinGUEST
Taranaki is one of our next biggest ones.
Michelle ToppinGUEST
Taupo, Ethan Re in Waihi, Tokoroa, Palmerston North.
Michelle ToppinGUEST
Um, then-
HelenHOST
And these, these are places that moms can go for a massage?
Grant HarrisHOST
Mm
Michael DouglasGUEST
... that we had on, and we went to my grandmother's in Waihi, which means as a little six, seven year old, all of my toys and my sister's toys-
Grant HarrisHOST
Mm
Michael DouglasGUEST
... were all in our house.
Michael DouglasGUEST
And so my earliest memory of the Salvation Army, um, was a man that came to Waihi in his full, they used to wear uniforms with hats and all that-
Grant HarrisHOST
Yeah
Michael DouglasGUEST
... kind of stuff, um, was a, was a Salvation Army man who arrived at my grandmother's with all of our toys and things from our house.

But it was Leslie Isitt Grange who set out a particularly clear case against treating rhodingite as an unusual, essentially unaltered product of magma.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Grange had grown up in Waihi, another town where rocks and mining were difficult to separate, and trained at Otago.
speaker_0NARRATOR
His work with the Geological Survey took him into the field, where a specimen was only one part of the evidence.
speaker_0NARRATOR
What happened around it could be just as revealing.
Harvey BrookesGUEST
And this is where people like me or slightly older.
Harvey BrookesGUEST
So you're an Aucklander, you retire, you're asset rich, cash poor, and you kind of look around some of these little Waikato towns, pretty little Waikato towns like Harapuni, Tumani, Waihi.
Harvey BrookesGUEST
Yeah, carapero.
Harvey BrookesGUEST
Carapero.
Warren MaherGUEST
You know, this is, this is a, this is a huge area that they've e- that actually comes under this legislation, you know.
Warren MaherGUEST
Cape Rodney right down to Waihi, south of me, and then you've got Muruwai down to Port Waikato on the west coast.
Warren MaherGUEST
So, uh, it's probably the biggest area that's ever been picked up in legislation like this.
Warren MaherGUEST
Um, so-
Mark LentonGUEST
Um, I must give credit to, to Shane Jones.
Mark LentonGUEST
Um, this man has made some really tough calls, and in the eight, and, you know, and within the last eight months he's protected Whangaparaoa, and now he's implemented widespread restrictions across all of Auckland and Coromandel, all the way down to Waihi on the East Coast and Port Waikato on the West Coast.
Kerre WoodhamHOST
Mm-hmm.
Mark LentonGUEST
So really wide-ranging.
speaker_0NARRATOR
On the West Coast, Reefton's gold-bearing quartz veins belong to an older geological world.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Around Coromandel, Thames, Karangahake, and Waihi, the story is different again.
speaker_0NARRATOR
There, gold and silver formed in epithermal systems as hot fluids moved at relatively shallow depths through volcanic rocks.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Their geological ancestry is closer to geothermal country than to the deeply metamorphosed schist of Otago.

speaker_0NARRATOR
The boundary between ore and waste moved with the technology.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Ground or tailings discarded by one generation could justify a processing plant in the next.
speaker_0NARRATOR
At Waihi, gold and silver had been discovered at Pukua, Martha Hill, in 1878.
speaker_0NARRATOR
William Nichol pegged the Martha claim the following year and named it after his niece.
BrettAUDIENCE
I broke down with a flat tire, two flat tires, actually, on the back of a little F1080 truck, which is like those little Tonka troy- toy trucks with dual wheels on the back and a little short cab.
BrettAUDIENCE
And about 11 o'clock at night in the Waihi Gorge.
BrettAUDIENCE
And I thought, "Well, I've got two flat tires, so I got no spare," 'cause you didn't carry a spare with dual wheels, so you sort of thought you'd get away with it, which different tires on the front to the back, so it, it wasn't easy to change.
BrettAUDIENCE
Anyway, a chap stops about 11 o'clock at night.
BrettAUDIENCE
I'm on the side of the road looking at a truck, and I'd sort of worked out, "Well, I need to either take a tire off, get it repaired." So I got a tire off.
BrettAUDIENCE
Chap stops, takes me into Waihi, which is about, I suppose, seven or eight Ks, not that far, but ...
BrettAUDIENCE
And there's a 24-hour service station in there.
BrettAUDIENCE
I said, "Thanks, mate.
Ewan CampbellHOST
And it's basically with the idea of the total test, it's a mining essay.
Ewan CampbellHOST
So like if the gold mine in Waihi goes and digs down and they go, oh, at this level per cubic meter, we can get half an ounce of gold and it's worth $3,500.
Ewan CampbellHOST
So it's going to cost us $2,700 to mine it.
Ewan CampbellHOST
So there's $800 in the pocket.

Ewan CampbellHOST
weeds.
Ewan CampbellHOST
In a lot of the farmers, this one here has got copper down there, but if we focus on the Canterbury one, generally they don't.
Ewan CampbellHOST
Over in Waihi, we're in the...
Ewan CampbellHOST
Marginal area.
