Looking up the sheltered harbor of Mangonui toward the fish shop and commercial dock.
Looking out across the harbor of Mangonui from a hillside walk the town has built that forms a circuit through the historical district of this old timber trading and whaling station.
When I stopped to let these free range pigs cross the road up on the Karikari Peninsula, they doubled back and came right up to my window, I think hoping that I had something for them to eat. The picture is a little blurry because they were trotting right along when I snapped it from the car.This is one of the four wheel drive buses that drive right out on the 90 Mile Beach just north of Kaitaia.
I talked with the fisherman who was getting ready to launch this boat out into beautiful Rangaunu Bay, the last bay up on the northeast side of the North Island. The boat, built to similar lines as an inflatable, has aluminum pontoons, making it unsinkable, and well suited to rough water. The boat, called, I believe, a Stablecraft (though I may not have caught the proper name through the owner's accent), is built down on the South Island. I liked the little windshield and dodger design.
