Andy Oxley - Secretary
I live up the hill from Bullock Creek. I walk there almost everyday. I’m inspired by the beauty of this little natural haven in the middle of suburbia. I’m a keen conservationist and a regular trapper in the Mt Aspiring National Park. I am constantly awed by the transformation of the wetlands that were previously overgrown when I first moved to Wanaka. Now bellbirds and tui’s serenade me on my walk.
