Comments from the first Whitestone Cheese Rolling New Zealand 2006 "This is the best thing I've ever done." "Brilliant! The sheer thrill of the cheese race - people chasing after it, flailing arms and legs - it was really exciting!" "The simplicity - in the world today there is a great desire for simplicity. And you could have a go for $5 - there's not many things like that these days." "Don't think about having it next year, have it every Sunday!"
