any investors live in the area?

Does anyone live in the area and surrounds, if so where (town is enough)? Anywhere between Hamilton, Coromandel, Tauranga, Taupo counts I guess as there's not a lot of population around..

Just wondering as to who is actually near by and how many of you, vs who just sits in front of the internet.

Me? I lived in Waihi for some time, and know Karangahake well, but I'm not in the country now. Haven't lived there for a few years. Did visit the area (Waihi / Karangahake, not the mine) just a couple of weeks ago though. Saw the Martha cave-in which was a little impressive.
