Waiomu domain. A lovely freedom camping spot about 13kms from Thames township.
We have a beautiful view out over the water looking toward Kaiaua/Miranda. A nice grassy area for Diesel to run in.

Another beautiful day in Mokau. A leisurely brunch followed by the pack up/clean up. Big hugs goodbye and then homeward bound. A nice safe trip home 😀

Much quieter night with very little wind. Got up at 9am, and had a lovely breakfast with our friends. Mokau had a market, so we popped up to have a look. To my delight and surprise, there was a bigBaca lagi
Pengembara Great to be back on board thanks for sorting. Are you freedom camping at Mokau I have been wondering what made you go there?
Pengembara It was Karen and Mark's idea! We're on a powered site for $15/ night per camper. Close to the 'beach' and beautiful weather! There is also a dump station and toilets on site!!! There are plenty of freedom camp sites at $12/night

This freedom camping site is at the far end of Ohope Beach near Whakatane. It's a lovely spot right next to the Harbour. A great spot for fishing, swimming, kayaking and paddleboarding.

Found this site using the NZCMA app. The comments were pretty favorable, so thought we'd give it a shot. SO glad we did. It's a nice dry site with plenty of room. We're literally 30seconds from theBaca lagi

Stir Cafe on the waterfront- best loaded toasties ever!
Bought new bike helmets as our previous ones were very old and I had smacked mine on the ground a couple of times falling off my bike!!
Pengembara So youve started a Penguin blog too . Quite fun when you're doing lots of adventuring. Very important to have safe helmets to protect that attractive head of yours Lianne and no more tumbles
Pengembara Did we miss the invitation ???
Pengembara 😞
Pengembara Hey sis we would love to have had you both along. This was a very last minute spur of the moment trip. Nothing at all planned except head north. We must do one together. We are looking at doing two weeks during July school holidays if you are keen. Thinking maybe east coast but maybe up north.
Pengembara It's fine. Our motorhome is away getting a wee oopsy repaired so couldn't come anyway. Just teasing. Have fun.
