Trip to Ruawai
August 3, 2008
We took a little trip to the Ruawai area this afternoon. Normally we would have gone straight down S.H.12 but a bad accident on the Tokatoka corner sent us on a diversion. So we got these pics which we wouldn’t have done otherwise. This is Maungaraho. A rocky outcrop just south of Dargaville. You can [...]

Dargaville to Paihia
November 18, 2007
We have just spent a lovely couple of days in the beautiful Bay of Islands. Stayed in Paihia this time. Didn’t do anything too exciting. Didn’t go para-gliding, or go for a trip on the Excitor or even go on a steady boat trip around the bay. No we were quite happy just to laze around, [...]
