Inside a massive shed, a short distance off the Twin Coast Discovery Highway, is the result of half-a- century’s obsession with the machines of yesteryear. That means much more than just cars, although naturally they feature prominently, as well as farm vehicles like a herd of bright red Farmall tractors, dating from the 1920s, a horse-drawn gig, motorbikes and a 1925 fire engine. Here, you will also find vintage pianolas, floor polishers, irons, telephones, typewriters, gramophones, saucepans and soda siphons. There’s a dentist’s chair and drill, a line of stuffed birds, a selection of antique radios, chunky cash registers, gardening equipment, a shoe-making machine and a wide variety of tools used in kitchens, workshops and in the gumfields.

The results of all the effort that has gone into trapping pests at Rangikapiti are plain to see according to Friends of Rangikapiti chairman John Haines. Last winter, we planted koru, or native hydrangea, in a couple of parts of the reserve, he said. This attractive plant is ordinarily found only on pest-free islands, as it is very tasty to possums. Early settlers used to boil it up like cabbage. Our plants are thriving, many have bloomed and are setting seed, and there s hardly a bite out of any of them. Likewise kohokohe is an indicator plant for possums.
