Colin,Most back yards in "Na Zealun" used to sport them as well. (a Hills hoist that is) We had the big one with the wind up gearbox.
BTW. N.Z. had the worlds biggest raptor (The Haast Eagle) until he was starved into extinction (by the demise of the Moa)
He would have been something to see The females were bigger, an some would possibly have reached a 3 metre wing span. It appears they were maybe 40 % bigger in the body for a given wing span, than other eagles.
