We asked, listened, and collaborated directly with farmers in the making of this gear. We tested and re-tested in on-farm environments. We re-engineered what farming workwear can be with your needs front of mind. We brought our decades of experience creating world-class performance gear. Add to that a legacy of Kiwi innovation, a challenger spirit and a practical attitude that’s been part of Line 7 since we started back in 1963.

Every detail has been reviewed and refined – without overlooking the obvious. Breathable, flexible, functional and comfortable, while still being supremely durable and waterproof. Made to fit farmers of all shapes and sizes, with a dedicated range for women. Built to last, and last a bit longer still, with an included repair kit that means you can fix it up quickly yourself.

Now take it out there, try it on and put it to the test. Wear it out and wear it again. We’re pretty damn confident you won’t be disappointed.

UK, 2022, Comedy/Drama
103 mins, Rated M
Cast: Sally Hawkins, Steve Coogan, Harry Lloyd.
Director: Stephen Frears

Based on a true story, Philippa Langley is an amateur historian who's fascinated by the life of King Richard III. Philippa spends so much of her time researching Richard's life that she begins to see his ghost. Things get even stranger when Philippa realises that she can talk to the 500 year-old former monarch.

As such, Philippa decides to pinpoint Richard's final resting place, which had not been found, even after hundreds of years of searching. In compiling her research, though, Phillipa's controversial theories spark outrage amongst the top UK historians.

You can find it at Waihoihoi River Park, 70 The Centre Waipu. It's just a 25-minute drive from either Mangawhai or Whangarei The swing is in operation. This requires no key; just take your child or adult and enjoy the swing. I have seen the smiles on disabled children's faces, and I am over the moon that we accomplished this fundraiser.

Already underway is another round of fundraising for a wheelchair-accessible sea-saw for Whangarei.

Children with Disability New Zealand aims to educate and improve understanding of the needs of disabled children and adults. We have a comprehensive, high-quality website with lots of useful information. Here is a link to the Swing based in Waipu, but while you're there, have a look around our FAQs, which may help give answers to common problems in loving and caring for your disabled family members: www.childrenwithdisability.co.nz...
