It is 1 year today since we drove our Winny out of the dealership in Melbourne!!! Happy roaming anniversary to us!
We should have booked our ferry return to the mainland at the same time we booked to come over here. As it turns out, the ship is heavily booked, so we can't get back to the Big Island until 10th June. Not a problem though, this is a beautiful place to linger; we have camped beside rivers, the ocean, lagoons, in the mountains, in nice small towns. We have had good weather most of the time, a few days of rain here and there, and a couple of VERY windy days.
The roads scare me a bit as most of them are narrow and winding, up and down the mountains. I won't drive Winny here, but when we get back to the mainland I will drive a bit.
At the moment we are camped beside the ocean on the north east coast at Lagoons Beach, around 45kms south of St Helens.
I have lots of photos, so I hope this page doesn't take too long to load. Click on photos for a larger view.
