remember Big Gordon used to do a fair bit hunting in the Kopara area, my brother had a head crash with him on the lake hill, wrote his little Morris van off, made a fair mess of our Dads Holden, Gorden was pretty shaken up from what I remember.

Will never forget big Gordon "by Jove's".l recall about 1983 l was working as the coal consignor/storekeeper at Rewanui. Big Gordy and Tawhi Mahauriki took a train load of coal down to Dunollie siding and we're suposed to be back in an hour for another load.they arrived back 3hours later Tawhi and big Gordy were now the same shade of white.turns out the train got away on them on the decline and crashed through the kick off points at Dunolie.they both had to jump fot thier lives.
