We must now go back a day to Monday. We first went into the office to sort out the post and other bits then off to collect the Zone leaders from Te Awamutu for our afternoon P-Day visit to Hairy Feet. What a treat we had in store. We were welcomed by the owner Suzie Denize who explained how film location scouts spotted their farm and asked if they could have a closer look with view of filming the Hobbit Movie there. I don’t think they hesitated in saying yes. There is not much left of the props that they used but who needs the props when you have ready-made rock formations. They already used to show people around their farmland but now they have made proper tracks and have lots of different stories to tell about scenes that were taken in all the different places. All the props and markers that the film makers took were taken away but a few were actually farm materials. But, and don’t spread this around because they may come back for it, one of the markers that Bilbo had to stand on was left behind. The tour normally takes about 1½ hrs and has a limit of 9 people but there were only the four of us and it lasted 2 hrs. It is such a pretty place.
The not so fierce warriors.
Now this is the image we are trying to create!
Fierce animals are coming over the hills behind the camera man.
