Hamilton's no.3 tourist attraction.Firstly when I say the farmer is unhinged I mean it in the best possible way. He's a nice man. His mind has just moved to that particualr corner of insanity reserved solely fot those have worked in agriculture for most of thier lives. If he was in Ireland he would certainly be wearing a paddy cap and a battered old tweed suit with some wellingtons. Sorry "gum boots" so they call them here. He would not at all be out of place in the village in fact (leaving aside the Kiwi accent obviously).
And secondly I've realised that this is in fact the midlands of New Zealand so maybe its a general rule that midlands have to be boring. Or maybe they've done it purposely so no one will want to visit. Yeah maybe they've actually destroyed anything thats of any interest as some form of tourist detterent. Certainly worked back home, ever hear of anyone going on holidays to Offaly? The main tourist attraction in Hamilton is (after the museum and garden) a statue of a character from the Rock Horror Picture show. This strikes me as very odd. Though I've never seen the movie. I reckon it may be another cunning strategy to keep tourist away. Who in their right mind would come to a place with such a thing listed as one of the main attractions?
