Boundary Creek

So after indulging in another breakfast at the cafe, we set out for Tuatapere, the town where I was born. We'll probably stay for a couple of days.
Once set up, we had a cuppa with our new neighbours and then went for a drive.
First stop was at the Clifden Suspension Bridge. I remember driving over it when I was just a very wee nipper. We spotted about 20 trout lurking in the river so the great mystery has been solved!! All the fish in the South Island are hiding in this river and the fishing season is closed in the rivers!!!! Of course it is!!
Moving on we asked Google to set the route to Mulvey Road (my first home). The first attempt would have us going to India! Ah no. Attempt 2 was a little better. Australia this time. Attempt 3 returned no result searching just for Mulvey Rd. Attempt 4 saw us typing in Mulvey rd eastern bush and lo and behold, success!!!!!
Found my old school site on the way. The building I started school in was replaced some time ago.
Finally arrived at Mulvey Rd and took the obligatory photo under the sign. Then down the road to the farm. The house is set back from the road so photos are not that good. However, for immediate family, it is still for sale.
We also went down Township rd, mainly because there is no Township!! We did find an old cemetery however with the best info board. All the inmates are listed and the story of the cemetery. A real gem!!
Tomorrow will see us tiki touring around some more.Meer informatie
