To round off is "Under Five Hundy": a look at towns with fewer than 500 residents. Rahotu is a close-knit community in coastal Taranaki. It's home to 300 people including a leather-worker who crafts props for blockbuster movies and to a mechanic who, when Country Life visited, was trying to find a dead rat behind a dash board.
