As an alternative, any other photos you could point me in the direction of would be greatly appreciated Hi there

The photo is from 2005—the last time I was "home" on the Coast. I have shots taken recently in Wellington of a tree in flower, and of our potted flowerless shrub. But the above image is special; the peninsula you see across the waters of the Hauraki Gulf is Duder's Point, the base of which was only a mile from my family home. I used to cycle along the coast road where the picture was taken to Maraetai Beach, the nearest shops, for ice cream! As you say the silver fern is also a visible NZ symbol. A kiwi, sadly, I have never seen outside of a sanctuary (but there's one on YouTube <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdUUx5FdySs" rel="nofollow">here</a>). It's not recent, no.

Nice shot, but it's not very recent eh? ;-) Next to the (silver)fern and the kiwi, this red flower is also very NZish to me.
