Twizel & The Mackenzie

After being discharged from hospital, with Doctors orders to, ?Take it easy?, I decided it was time to go home. Home being the place in my heart, the place I lived, where I grew up. A place where I could get away from the hustle and bustle. A place where I could take it easy, relax and recover. That place was Twizel. The place I loved ? the place I would never leave. Being an isolated town nestled beneath the Southern alps of New Zealand, Twizel is a very unique place. Unique in the fact that all those who lived and worked here, no matter where in the world they are now living, are still a community. The sight of a postcard, a glimpse on a television commercial or a simple photograph of the area, stirs memories and a yearning for home.
