Do you have any pics of this? I'd really like to see it as it sounds pretty interesting. ( oh sorry just realized you want pics of the New Zealand range smile )

Yes if you scroll up I just posted a picture of the direction of the range as well as the county map that shows all the homes he chose to point his range towards as well as if you look to the side of his property he could've aimed it that way and had it safely aimed it away from any homes for several acres
