Exploring the Kaipara part one


We had a couple of hot sunny days free this week so headed south from Whangarei and turned onto SH12 at Brynderwyn. Our first stop was Maungaturoto where we checked out a second hand shop and had a coffee.


Then it was on to Paparoa where we walked  to the pa site on the Paparoa Walkway....

After our walk we had a nice lunch at the Thirsty Tui pub...



Then we turned down a peninsula and drove down to Tinopai at it's tip. We'd never been here before. It's a beautiful spot with the campground right on the waterfront.






We wandered along the beach. The pohutukawa was in full bloom. A very pretty spot.
