Judging by this book, it seems Kiwis certainly have the can-do attitude!
From the electric fence, milking sheds and deer farming, to spreadable butter, the wide-toothed shearing comb, animal eartags, and even No.8 wire itself, New Zealand has long been a hub of innovation.
In No.8 Re-wired, Jon Bridges and David Downs tell the stories behind 202 home-grown creations and the crafty people who dreamt them up.
