    Great bit of history, I used to have a look through the Grey st one when I was young, and could fit thru. a hole, and nowadays I can still see a smidgen of the one at Waikanae next to the walkway. Good to see the old Home Guard, I reakon their may have been a few character's like in the tv program Dad's Army.

    Thank you for the vlog. I lived there as a child and used to play in and around them. I`m glad most of them are still there.

    I know of 3 pills. Well.. 1 might be under water now. Wairoa. Used to play in those as a kid. This other one, we 2 kids, ran across a field to get to it. I swear, the family that owned the land would had been laughing. Also, timber/wood and sticks were left there so we could fashion time weapons. And then...
    We sitting in this pill box on a hill. With stick guns. Bro gets up.
