Decided to head out to Pohara Beach on Al n Robin’ recommendation. What a beautiful spot. NZMCA camp right by the water near a Marina. Pete’s in heaven.
PengembaraWhat a great recommendation by Robin and Alan D&P, looks from your pics that everywhere you stay overnight there are no other other campers
Pengembara... there are no other campers. You're almost at the very tip of the top of the south. So fascinating! xxx
