    Yeah, we are blessed with some amazing bits of undeveloped coastline where you can camp right on the edge of multi-million dollar views. This shot is from sitting outside the tent at Port Jackson

    Maaaaate! This is one of my favourite places in the world. Have spent a significant amount of time up here and caught a very large amount of kingfish off the rocks over the back of the hills to both left and right of the pic. It is such a cool DOC camp too and has all that you really need (and that is not much at all)

    We went up there just before Xmas one year before everyone packed the place out and had a great time. The bloke next to us went out in his boat to the right looking out and was back only half an hour later with a big king spread over the bars of his quad bike. Reckons he caught a little Kahawai and as he was bringing it in the king jumped after it and landed in the boat!
    I didn't care if it was a fisherman's tale or not as he divvied it up among the other campers and we all had a good feed.

    Golden Palace Eastbourne - Spend $25 and feed the family twice. Massive portions, heaps of free potato fritters and it taste awesome. Best chippy for me.

    And wander down and eat it on the wharf. Don't go to piranha or whatever it is and have to deal with the angry lady.

    @taniwharugby been there - done that 🙂 Watered his lemon too...

    Either you missed the word "tree" or that's a sensational euphemism.

    @Crucial or the new bridge at Taipa, thanks Whinny 😉

    Actually, clip on TV1 news...NZTA with signs up wanting people to stop jumping.

    Shane Jones saying he's been jumping off to for 50 years and who is going to enforce it?

    Cue interviews with locals after they climb out of the water, post Manu.

    There's actually case law in Australia where somebody jumped off a bridge and sued the Council for not doing enough to protect him from injury or some such.

    Did a Contract Law course earlier in the year and this case study came up. Will see if I can find it.

    Further confirms my opinion of Shane Jones.

    @booboo apparently they were going to build a jumping platform but just built a viewing platform instead and put signs up saying no jumping.

    Surely doing bombs is a customary right (for all kiwis)?

    If they put a platform up then there’s an assumption of it being assessed as safe otherwise buyer beware.

    There’s a bombing platform into a gap in the wharves in Wellington with no problem

    To prove it is a kiwi national pastime that should be protected check out this vid

    Compared to this pathetic effort

    @Crucial yep, go pretty much anywhere there is water deep enough and an elevated area to jump from, over summer kiwi kids (and adults) are doing bombs and manus!

    It's good to come home now and then aye bro, eat some ice cream, do some bombs.

    @booboo given people will do it regardless, they should do their bit to make it as safe as possible while ensuring people know there is always a risk.

    Here tis. Aussie, in fact Victorian, case here:

    http://www.unistudyguides.com/wiki/RTA_v_Dederer

    Am not a lawyer but my reading of that is that the bridge owner has a duty of care. I would think that Shane Jones' assertion that no-one is going to enforce it leaves the Government open to liability.

    Could be wrong ...
