Hers not His: Mel Hill

Where  and what are you farming?

We have a lifestyle block in Toko Taranaki.

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

I'm a district nurse and love working in our rural communities and my husband is a stock truck driver.

 Padrick the Pajero is an oldie but a goodie. He's a 1997 classic.

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

A quirk about him is his faulty heating system so I'm well rugged up on our frosty Taranaki mornings. You'll see me chugging along with my wooly

 merino gloves and possum fur hat.

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

My favorite playlist is my kids and Jack Russell singing as Padrick's stereo doesn't work either!

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

 We always have classic Whittakers chocolate in his glove box and plenty of dog treats for any dogs we come across on our adventures.

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

The backseat always has spare loo rolls , tie downs, a spade and an assortment of tools and on special occasions a bridesmaid or 2.
