Day 3
Porangahau
February 1, 2023 in New Zealand
Left Pongaroa about 10am and headed for Herbertville. The road was in terrible condition with lots of slips and slumps. Weather was not looking too good along the way. It was very windy when we arrived at Herbertville, so the committee decided to carry on to Porangahau. Just as we arrived at Porangahau, it started to rain. This made for a quick setup and snooze time for an hour or so.Read more

Got up early to photograph the sunrise. It wasn't very good but the weather was nice for a walk along the beach. Went back and picked Neo up and went for a long work up the beach. Group morning tea followed by a long walk down the beach with a few of the others.Read more

Day 6
Makotuku Domain
February 4, 2023 in New Zealand
Drove from. Porangahau to Waipukurau dump station and supermarket then on to Makotuku Domain. Lovely quiet camping gear area. Enough room for us to set up our 6 vans so we had a closed in area for gathering in. Still sitting out at 10pm waiting to see some satellites. Due to the near full moon were unable to see them.Read more

Rain overnight at Ferry Reserve and still light rain this morning. On the road again by around 11am. Quite a lot of traffic on SH2, with today being the end of the long weekend.
Another great trip. Hopefully, we'll do it again soon.Read more
