Where are and what are you farming?

Apiti (Northern Manawatu) and I'm farm managing a  sheep and beef farm.


What year, make, and model is your trusty ute?

2008 Toyota Hilux, 4WD


What’s your favourite feature (or quirk) about your ute?

The bumper stickers/stickers in general that were already on the ute when I bought it off a friend. The Dillygaf sticker and the minions on the side pulling the finger, and the mostly worn of sticker with an interesting interpretation of the acronym PETA ( it's very in keeping with a farmers perspective).

 That, or the rusty old dog box on the back which I built 14 years ago for my previous ute - a 1991 2WD drive single cab, petrol ute called Ra-ra. It's an eyesore but I'm fond of it.


What song is always on your playlist when you’re behind the wheel?

Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd


What’s your ultimate roadtrip snack when you’re out on the farm or heading to town?

Bag of Bluebird chips


What’s always rolling around in the back seat or tray?

A combination of tie Downs, strappy heels, a set of jumper leads and a spare jacket sit on the back seat.

On the tray at the moment is an old ball cock and some scraps of timber.
