      Hi Damian,

      Thanks for the feedback, yes that is correct -40 over winter. Brrrrr, I’m glad we don’t those temperatures in the Waitakere Ranges 🙂

      Glad you liked the show, we would love it if you can add a review to itunes for our podcast Damian https://kiwimana.co.nz/itunes

      Thanks…Gary
