Hi All,
Jeff I cannot remember the no (too much alcohol and substance intake at the time) but it was first on the right hand side after the bridge heading east.It may have been on the corner of Leith St central.A few of the dark bricks(chocolate in colour?) that the Gardens Tavern was made of were an integral part of every room that I inhabited.Along with a few planks of timber they formed a shelving structure that Frank Llyod Wright would have been
proud of.They housed the books and the obligatory
stereo.Memories ….It was around this time that Tim Shadbolt was regarded by most as the biggest ratbag about.Most would probably now know him as the saviour of Invercargill.How things change.
jel08 good to have you respond.Be very diligent with some of the smaller centers.Employment and flooding are two things that spring to mind and some local knowledge could be very valuble.Not much point in having cashflow +ve if it goes underwater every 5 years.I would be interested to know where you have invested.
Hi to the other hound.Oamaru also hold fond memories for me.(Boarding School)
Thanks again all for your interest and responses.
Cheers
Hound Dog [biggrin]Hi All,
Thanks for your responses and bringing me up to speed with the situation.On a flying visit last year I had a look around and checked out the old stomping grounds.I found my Grandparents old house
at the northern end of Queen St.It had like a block of flats/units built on the lower end of the section (block).I also remember at one flat the outside loo cracking from the pressure of the ice formed in the bowl during a particularly cold night.This was in Dundas St down near the Leith.Naturally we were blamed for this and had to replace the broken loo.
Having my Mother in Gore makes me look seriously at the property investment oportunities in New Zealand but I would be most reluctant to consider some of the regional Towns and prefer the large Cities.I have always liked Dunedin as a place and from the advice given here will watch and wait.Thanks for your thoughts and responses.
Hound Dog [biggrin]
