Sep 10, 2008 - Kauri Coast

We both woke up about 7. It was decided we could get the problem fixed in Dargaville so we now had a destination and time frame to stick to so we pressed on. ... We also decided to stay here and have lunch but without doing any washing up! Dargaville was a bit of a drag as it took about an hour to get the leak sorted but at least it was done. ... We set off again and headed to the Kai Iwi Lakes which were beautiful.We both woke up about 7.

Got chicken fried rice from take-away.We had bit of a lie in today - didn't leave till 9-45. Down SH12 to Dargaville. ...

Dec 15, 2007 - Waipoua National Forest

The place we headed to on the west coast was called Waipoua National Forest and it is home to the largest Kauri trees in NZ, and we're talking serious height and girth here people! The weather was much better over here so we found a great free camping spot near Tane Mahuta (Lord of the Forest) and then went in search of some showers! After getting squeaky clean we parked up for the night and had the first go with our cooking stove and a few brewskies! We managed to rustle up pasta and tomato sauce without too much hassle! Scrummy.The place we headed to on the west coast was called Waipoua National Forest and it is home to the largest Kauri trees in NZ, and we're talking serious height and girth here people!
