Tuatapere 2

I have to say that it seemed a bit ironic that we were in the most southern part of the country with 100% cloud cover during the best aurora in 20 years!
That definitely required a sleep in this morning for Mother's Day including a cuppa in bed to recover from the irony!
After farewelling our neighbours whoweremoving on, we went tiki touring around the area through the coal mining area of Ohai and Nightcaps. There's Heritage Trail info boards dotted around which help give you a sense of the history.
The local 4 Square had promised to make Southland cheese rolls for us so we popped in to collect them. Unfortunately for us, they had no sandwich bread so have to wait till tomorrow!! They'll be worth the wait!!
Will probably do a bit of coastal exploration tomorrow.Read more
