Our thoughts go out to all that have been affected by the earthquake in Canterbury. We can only imagine what it must have been like.

Our most heartfelt sympathies to those who have lost friends and family. We can only hope that it was quick for those that didn’t stand a chance.

God Bless

After reading the articles around the various newspapers and especially hearing, listening to and reading the comments about this atrocity, it seems quite clear that this shocking attack on a couple minding their own business has turned into a debate about freedom campers toilet habits. That is another thing altogether. Lets get back on track here. This particular story is about some loose canon who took offence to someone parking in the way of his view of the ocean and thought it would be a good idea to try and kill them move them on by burning them alive in their campervan.

I can’t condone this type of activity but it seems he was on the rampage the night before when another camper was parked in the same spot with them. They left fearing their safety.

“The other campervan left when he threatened to shoot them”.

Did they contact the police and tell them about the “Angry Dad” and his alleged threat to kill with a firearm? No it seems not…

“Police wish to speak to the occupants of the second campervan, which left the site before the alleged attack.”

Now, only one person can be held to account for this attack, but it seems that the couple in the campervan that remained had other options and could have got themselves out of harms way a lot sooner, and called the police.

Enough of this nonsense of people who have no idea about camping, using this apalling attack on people who choose an alternative lifestyle as an excuse to ‘dump’ on them for their alleged toilet habits…

Keep safe out there boys and girls. Make sure you have a couple of good fire extinguishers on board. One accessible from the inside and one accessible from the outside.

Some interesting tidbits on this site.

It shows some rather great looking housebuses from around NZ.

The site bent is on the bus history perspective rather than the housebussing lifestyle angle, but the dozen or so buses on the NZ pages show some real classics i’m sure all will appreciate.

Well worth a look.
