Whangarei Staycation


We have been spending January in and around our home town, Whangarei, enjoying the beaches, bush and times socialising with friends. I've been for several swims at Wellingtons Bay (above and below)


In the other direction, McLeod Bay in the Whangarei harbour... 



I've had a few visits to Waipu; we've walked to the pancake rocks, had lunch at Cove Cafe, dinner at the Pizza Barn, (followed by a folk music concert), attended markets and a New Years Day carnival.

Another nice beach and estuary at Pataua


Then there's our lovely shady bush walks. This is Mair Park, my local walking place beside the river...



And this is a kauri at A H Reed Park


Some of our social activities...night markets and live music at Tutukaka Marina...

Malcolm's birthday celebrations...


The wine is called Malcolm and it goes well with cheese


This get together is at our friend Pam's...
