Old Forest is the name of our property in the Mokihinui Preserve near Seddonville which is in the South Island. It is 10.22 hectares of native bush; a very rough piece of land but beautiful with many native trees and plants which include beech, nikau, king tree ferns (mamaku) and a stand of rimu, plus native birds, not far from the Mokihinui River and the wild West Coast. This blog is to record our annual holidays on Old Forest so isn't updated between our visits.

Noice photos! Wot is a thermette?
Looks like a mini steam boiler but what drives it?
Yes, also a question about the thermette - is this for a single cup of tea?
Hi Stafford & Jeannette - thanks for dropping in on this blog. About thermettes I think the best thing is for your to have a look at this site as you will be able to see how a thermette works. For fuel my father always sat a small tin with meths under it, on Old Forest we usually pop sticks down the centre and light them as we have so many sticks! Jeannette this website says it has a half gallon capacity which is just under 2 litres. We love or thermette as it boils so quickly.

That's really a quick way of boiling water (also looked at the youtube video) -thanks for sharing the use of the thermette with us!:)
Thanks for the link, even watched the jiggling video! What a great camping asset!
