Now, you can’t miss it. The Glen Afton Pukemiro Society, working in conjunction with a community-led development team at the Waikato District Council and others in the community, west of Huntly, has created an impressive memorial.

Recommendation
Any recommendations please for someone who can knock out a dent in a car bumper.
