Now thats a man worth spending time with. I trust he's still well, thriving and able to achieve his goals. GIving away 700 acres is an extreme act of goodwill.
No idea how this just popped up as a recommended video but Im so glad it did. What a great snippet of the life of a great Kiwi bloke! I really enjoyed this... the history, the care and attention to conservation, the family life and keeping it simple. Cheese toasties for the win❤
@TonganDeathGrip. Hi TDG, i just discovered this video tonight. Johnny was my closest friend in the late 1950s. He would be the best person i had the privilege of knowing in my life. Bob. Lower Hutt.
Awesome documentary - what a paradise! I particularly enjoyed hearing Johnny's accent, it reminds me of the way my grandparents spoke. It's a unique, almost pioneer twang we don't hear much these days except in more isolated parts of Aotearoa. Keep fighting the good fight Johnny!
A very special short documentary that captures the heart of a Coaster, a conservationist, a logger and a deer culler. I would love all NZ to see this little snapshot. I will say, that this final cut brought out a tear or two last night when hubby and I watched it
I'm just finishing up my 3rd and final year of a degree in applied conservation at AUT, can't wait to get out of the city and back into the bush where I belong with my new knowledge of conservation. To me this was a very inspirational video and life's story with some good lessons for a young conservationist - thank you for sharing.

funny how the media portray this guy.. and then you do your own research and quickly find out he's actually a national treasure. bless you Mr Currie!
