[@nicotang5583]

@@jaredford8440 do you think the south island is safer than the north island?

[@jaredford8440]

@@nicotang5583 they may well be but I'm just a little fellow and I m still breathing lol personally, I think big cities at night can be a bit riskier... having said that ,it's New Zealand and if your a bit of an egg. There's a good chance someone will sit you down 😂🌺💯🇳🇿 I try to just be friendly and try to avoid vulnerable situations 🤠🐈🐈‍⬛ ...I love the warmth of the north.

[@fiwalker6690]

@@nicotang5583yes it is for sure and less populated ..I’m originally from the North Island but I ve lived in Queenstown for 20 years

[@nicotang5583]

@@fiwalker6690 I heard Invercargill is the worst town in NZ. Is it true? I mean I live in Austria and I like the moderate climate. The south island would be perfect for me bc it's not too hot or too cold for me. Sometimes here in Austria it can be -15°C in the winter. Luckily NZ is not so poisonous like the country next to that. But i think NZ has many natural disasters like earthquakes or tropical storms.

[@modfus]

You two really have seen parts of NZ that most Kiwis don't bother to visit. The look on Mado's face when Glen points out the German Apple Pie is $7 - Priceless😁🤣 Dargaville is not exactly a tourist town - I love how Glen always sees the best in everything - God bless you Glen😊

[@jamiegray3091]

nah, we're a service town for local industry, definitely not a tourist town

[@raemac44]

Bringing back some awesome memories for me. Dargaville is largest town in The west Kaipara.

Bringing back some awesome memories for me. Dargaville is largest town in The west Kaipara. I now live in Whangarei. Pronounced far-ng-a-Rae.

[@libbysevicke-jones3160]

You missed my favourite cafe in Dargaville. the Blaablaa cafe, great food and coffee. I’ll have to visit ‘All that you Knead’ bakery next time l drive through. The best bread l have ever eaten was at a German style cafe down in Matamata. Their german bread was to die for.

[@jaredford8440]

So months ago i said if you make it up north to Dargaville,id shout you both fish and chips....you were outside it at 14:00 mins..matitches fish and chips.sorry i missed you but thanks for visiting us on the west ❤❤...p.s , the flowers were hibiscus 🌺

[@gordowg1wg145]

Great thing about you, and others, visiting "The Land of the Long White Cloud" is that there are so many local things we never seem to check out ourselves, or are even aware of, in our regions.

[@EPICPLAYS2024]

Yes another one i like your video i have only 2 weeks left ib south africa thenni am in new zealand caint wait tnx for the videos glen and madlon

[@marias8007]

Haha glad u got it pie Mado, u deserve it

[@raemac44]

Best fish and chips in Dargaville. Plus Blah Blah Blah coffee house.

[@ivantaurua6735]

Kaiwi lake is the water is ankle shallow for 12metres then plummet into deep water, suddenly be careful 😊but the area is stunning and you can circumnavigate around the lake by hiking

[@richardcaldwell9160]

Dargaville looks my kind of town, reminds me of Petone - but sunnier. Some people are addicted to pot, but you guys are addicted to eggs. Eat well & have fun G & M x

[@theunknownunknowns256]

Did you guys hear about the kiwi that knocked on a guys door in Wellington earlier this year? Guy thought it was a cat. Leonardo Dicaprio commented about it on social media too. The kiwi have just in the last 12 months been reintroduced to the parks around Wellington because it's safe for them now in Wellington.

[@gordowg1wg145]

Last night's news, one got in through someone's cat flap.

[@peterwhite7252]

Out side of Dargavile is the Kauri Museam well worth a visit hope it is still there such a long time ago i was there.

[@BlairT79]

yea it's still there quire popular now

[@timtowers7997]

The bird's a Tui.

[@joharrison3469]

So, you went to Donnellys Crossing! Ot all. Paces. That's where I grew up. It's a real metropolis now it seems.

[@BarbaraMulligan-v8m]

Donnelley’s Crossing was the northern terminus of the Dargaville branch railway back in the day, to take out logs & farm products.

[@rayray2602]

grreat little Northland circuit team.. awesome.. 👏🏼👏🏼 🤙🏽

[@GlenAndMado]

haha we are definitely trying to get around :)

[@marias8007]

you guys have shown me so many beautiful parts of nz to see, i've really enjoyed it and will definitely check some of these spots out - thanks for your mahi

[@samo-xt2rv]

Kiwi birds go silent when you get near them in the bush I’ve found the best way to see them is to just sit quietly in the dark and wait for them to get comfortable with you being around, then you turn your red light on once they start making noises again , I’ve had them within two metres of me without noticing them until the started squawking again

[@Patricia.rogers]

That bird up in the tree looked like a Tui :) They make lovely noise.

[@MothershipVideos]

Great job...thanks again.

[@karinkereama]

Kia ora whaea Mado and matua Glen that was totally awesome dudes!! You captured Tane Mahuta. You guys covered some great mileage. Amazing thank you so much.

[@GlenAndMado]

Kia ora my friend! hope your having a wonderful day :) yup we got up to see it after you recommending it :) no thank you for your special words.

[@johnstuart8511]

Thank you, Thank you for another awesome video. "Always entertaining ". Regards from South Africa 🇿🇦.

[@GlenAndMado]

and you keep supporting us, your an absolute gem! :) thanks for tuning in for another one john!

[@typeOhh]

I'm noticing a trend where every cake Maddo picks is $7! 😂 That German Apple pie looked irresistible though 😮

[@exutiku]

You must be used to Irish conditions Glen, polar even, we stop swimming in about March, other than in hot pools lol

[@GlenAndMado]

yeah thats true, the water isn't even that cold compared to Ireland in the summer 😂

[@danielayers]

Looks like Glen does his best work in the dark!

[@WAR_DONNY419]

Glen only replace the w with the f if the word is starting with (wh) so for example wairoa you pronounce why-roa and then whangaroa (fanga-roa) so wh=f and w=w nga mihi me nga haerenga haumaru (thank you and safe travels)

[@GlenAndMado]

thanks for the heads up my friend :)

[@susannetenahu6691]

Could tell that poor Glen wanted a meat pie, from the Bake House. You deserve it, Mate or did you get an Apple pie, too. Pass on the bread, pies are forever lol

[@timrussell9869]

Dargaville, where you could have stayed at my nieces farm just out of town for 3 weeks, while they visited the USA, had you stayed in NZ a bit longer. Would have been a good base for your Northland tour. Never mind.

[@jocelynsimpson]

Kauri is heavily protected due to a disease that was killing the trees and I’ve also looked for kiwis at Trounson but didn’t see any. It’s a pity you didn’t have more time to explore Northland and go to places like Mangonui, Rawene and Russell, and you so should have popped down to the Stonestore in Kerikeri, the setting is stunning.

[@moniquegin8444]

Great pronunciation of Tane Mahuta Mado. Hope you still get to Bay of Islands, Russell, KeriKeri. Kauri Trees started experiencing what they named Kauri die back recently. When white people came they started chopping down all the kauri trees to build ships and houses and furniture and ship masts. Can you imagine how it mustve looked with untouched kauri forests. Farmers ploughing fheir fields churn up big clumps of golden kauri gum sometimes which is also desirable

[@GlenAndMado]

I'd say the land looked magical :( imagine getting to experience that now! thats an experience of a lifetime but most of the trees are gone now unfortunately :(

[@aussiebrian]

When you come to Australia you will see the tallest tree in the southern hemisphere The tallest measured living specimen, named Centurion, stands 100.5 metres (330 feet) tall in Tasmania

[@BlairT79]

oh bummer you didnt get to go to baylys beach near Dargaville

[@GlenAndMado]

haha we can't do everything 😂😂 it was only a small stop my friend, didn't have a plan to do anything else though unfortunately.

[@Burnoutblues1]

You should come to friendly feliding

[@GlenAndMado]

we did go there actually, just didnt make a video haha

[@Burnoutblues1]

​@@GlenAndMadolol

[@exutiku]

Bit of a shame that camera's don't really do Tane Mahuta justice, you really have to see it with your own eyes to appreciate the girth of the tree.

[@raemac44]

It's because Tane Mahuta was dying as too many people visited him. Walking on roots etc so they put all protection in place.

[@kerrylaw100]

MADO PLZZZZ SMILE MORE 😊❤

[@theunknownunknowns256]

Yeah stop your misogyny. Also know that an incessant judgment of a female appearance reveals a weakness in you. Obviously a weak pathetic man-boy.

[@waynepike4337]

Tane Mahuta's been here longer than the maoris have 👍

[@GlenAndMado]

wow must be a long time so!

[@johnmcnulty1129]

Great vlog as always guys. Make sure to get some "You time" away from demands of filming, editing etc. :) ☀️ 🐦🦆

[@GlenAndMado]

haha we currently are doing that right now john :) but this is also our job you could say in a way 😂

[@CreedBrattonTheOffice]

Lol it's not replace "W" with f it's "Wh" is the f sound.

[@GlenAndMado]

🙈🙈😂

[@stephenking4170]

"How many houses you can build from this tree" Really? Do you know what the tree is thinking, ? Looking down at you he thinks "I wonder how much compost that one would make?" Where is your respect? Tane Mahuta has seen so much history. Do you ask your great grandmother if you can use her body in the garden when she is gone?

[@TNP1990]

NZ is not in the tropics

[@GlenAndMado]

sometimes it feels like it is though!
