Simon Prast stars as Adam Harding in the new season of the popular local series The Gulf, screening Mondays, 9pm on Three. I was quite a reserved, grown-up, formal little boy and I enjoyed a wonderful childhood on an acre of land in Waikōwhai, beside the Manukau Harbour, overlooking the airport and Māngere Mountain. We lived there with a great dane, a goat, two sheep and a cat. My folks worked really hard so my younger brother and I could go to Kings Prep, which was quite an expensive private school. I m so appreciative of the effort they made, they put a lot of love into their boys.
