soldier dressed as Santa arrives at the Hammer base in southern Baghdad on Christmas Eve. When I joined the Army in 2004 I never imagined I’d be spending three Christmases in the Middle East — one in Kuwait the other two in Iraq. Last year at this time my fellow comrades and I drank “near beer” (non-alcoholic beer) while listening to loud music as other soldiers took part in dancing under a tent roof in Kuwait.

" Willy Robertson manager of Te Anau Lakeview Kiwi Holiday Park said visitors arrived steadily throughout the day. "We're always busy through summer but Boxing Day is the biggest day for arrivals. " He said in previous years families always used to converge on the camp around midday but campers yesterday arrived throughout the day perhaps because of inclement weather. The camp is almost full for New Year's he said. Greg Hartshorne manages the council's Queenstown and Arrowtown holiday parks. He said most arrivals were expected into Arrowtown yesterday while Queenstown would have its busiest day of arrivals tomorrow.

Forming an advance party of sorts the trio were putting up awnings and preparing caravans for their extended clans who were due to start arriving today. The Clarks and the Lapslies had been coming to the camping ground for about 15 summers now while Mr Cunningham was a relative rookie with only 2 summers under his belt. The families would be holidaying together for two weeks in which time Mrs Clark looked forward to biking and walking while Mr Lapslie planned a fortnight of "boating barbequing and pissing it up". They were concerned when it was announced the park would be taken back by the council two years ago but are delighted with the result of the move. "The finished product turned out really well. Top class" Mr Lapslie said.

"The farmers came down and they didn't mind. " Missing the comforts of home and sick of the smell of each other they booked into the camp ground for a treat. "We arrived (at the camp ground) on Christmas Day for a shower and a wash" Steve joked. They say Taranaki came well recommended for surf and it didn't fail to live up to expectations.

story-share –> THE woman on the mobile phone explained – to everybody in earshot – that she was off to Rosebud on New Year’s Day. "Camping!" She said that in an excited voice that we all heard. Camping around the bayside used to be a hallmark of Christmas and New Year in the era when few families travelled far for their holidays. The bayside tent-towns were so prominent in the summers of the 1930s – just before World War II – that newspapers often sent a reporter and photographer down to see what was happening. ne family had camped in the same spot at Dromana for 21 years they reported. And the girl from Northcote was engaged to marry the Hawthorn boy from just two tents away.
