Up close with nature
Alf Hoyle of Rotorua writes: "Fishing yesterday on Lake Tikitapu in the morning, just out of Rotorua - we had two fish in the bin and I was playing a third when I saw what looked like a large brown handbag swimming towards me. I boated the fish to investigate. It was a large deer and appeared to be heavily pregnant. It was pretty exhausted and swam right past me. Twenty minutes later it landed on the end beach and flopped in the sand for 10 minutes before loping off into the bush. Where else in the world could you catch three rainbow trout in two hours barely 8km from a major city and have an experience such as that."
Leonie from Tauranga writes: "When we woke this morning and went to get the Herald from our letter box we found that someone had decided to post a letter box to us, and as we already have one, we would like to return it to owner, but sadly there was no forwarding address, can anyone help us locate the owner?"
