Speak english buddy. The Maoris wiped out all the Moa's and the timber they took was for their canoes. They came to New Zealand only about 800 years before the Europeans. If theyd travelled over to Australia, they would have taken that place over in an instant wiping out the very fragile aborigines with ease. Its interesting how different history could have been with just some minor changes.

As an assistant engineer in the Timaru NZPO engineering district, I was heavily involved with telecom plant in the development of the Twizel & Upper Waitaki Power scheme. Many meetings with Max Smith and his engineers. A great time to be involved with a great bunch of guys.

As an observation ... Twizel survived because the NZED overlooked the fact that many of the staff who wore their bodies out for them would grow old and actually wanted to stay on in that locality. Yet again teaching us that any great plan forgets to factor in the human lifecycle element. What a gem of a video to find ... This clip lays down the challenge to the next generation ... wear your arse out and do better ... otherwise shut the fek up. And Max Smith ... you did not receive nearly enough accolades for your loyalty to the environment and its people, ... and your ability to look at the future big picture and add a human element to it. So many caravaners now enjoy the special quiet spots to stay a night that you had the vision to see into the future for.

Skipped through the waffle of the last 13 minutes but other than that really interesting and well done. Most appreciated and big thanks Max Smith for providing such a great venue for the nations school rowers, simply stunning setting with the trees, the beautiful coloured lake, and the mountain backdrop. Superb.

What a great documentary. Thank you to all concern for the making of this and showing exactly what was involved in the Upper Waitaki project and how it helped shape the landscape that we know today.

The Hydro projects gave NZ a great sense of purpose which sadly has been lost now

"which sadly has been lost now". What does that actually mean? What should NZ's purpose be now?

A great potted history. I know a lot of people who worked on the project, they all loved their time in Twizel. It is an outdoors paradise.
