Hi all , we are the proud owners of 20 acres of rabbit infested scrub at Queensberry Hills , near Luggate (or as the other half would say 20 acres of beautiful native Kanuka and exotic wildlife near Wanaka ) We have many hopes and dreams for our place including building a Straw-bale home ! Speaking of which we want to use un-treated timber for all the joinery (yes have checked with NZ building code rules and regs and yes we can apparently) anywho we are after a macrocarpa to mill , we plan on attaining a portable chain saw mill and have 4WD n trailer , if anyone (perhaps Canterbury is likely given the recent wind storms) has one available we would only take the planks and leave you the firewood
