3:33 Southern Story: Waihi Bush Organic Farm
The 15 hectares of bush with ancient trees and a magic pool in David Musgrave's 120 ha farm may be responsible for his serenity - or is it the flax-seed oil he produces? An agricultural degree and years as a research scientist have helped David succeed in his business, Functional Whole Foods, but his reasons for starting it were more personal – the products worked in healing his sons' allergies. Sage Forest meets David in the bush and takes a tour of the factory in Geraldine.
Beautiful fields of flax at Waihi Bush (notice it's entirely different to New Zealand's native harakeke).

Walking a tightrope over Niagara Falls is not an unusual boyhood dream when you're a 7th generation member of a famous circus family.

It took law changes in two countires, but Nik Wallenda announced he has been given permission to walk on a 5cm cable strung 550 metres across the Niagra Falls. It hasn't been done in more than a century. (9′21″)
