Kia ora from New Zealand

Hi all,
I'm from scenic New Zealand, looking forward to joining the community.
As well as books, I'm a big fan of public things, so naturally I've been a Librivox enthusiast for a number of years. I also rate the accessibility and intimacy of audiobooks versus books, and have long wanted to see a broader rangee of works on Librivox, to include more early Antipodean literature and some more classic non-fiction. I have a lapsed background in performance, so I'll be keeping an eye on the Dramatics Works section once I've got a handle on simpler recordings.

Thanks Stav and thanks Leslie.
Kia ora Leslie - what brought you to NZ?. I'm based in Christchurch at the moment, although I'll likely to move to Auckland or Wellington in the not too distant future. I love Dunedin (long-time Highlanders supporter), and try to go there every winter when I can, to be amongst the mist and the mood and so on. Matt

PS: I should probably add that I have uploaded my 1 minute test. I would be great if either of you would be able to give this a listen and some feedback.
