I'm back - we all had a lovely break at Kinloch.  a rest day at the bach on Saturday, then on Sunday we tackled the Kawakawa Bay Walking track.  There were some up hill bits, there was a little mud and a bit of standing aside for mountain bikers, but a good walk.  Lunch at the rocky outcrop from the top was a rather windy affair - great views though. 

Monday saw us heading to Craters of the Moon -a geothermal attraction with a boardwalk track from which you can view  lots of interesting steaming bubbling craters, fumeroles and coloured rocks.  

Of course I managed to find pretty spring flowers as well - a delicate yellow wattle and a beautiful rhododendron.

And yes - some sewing got done in the evenings, but I'll show those photos tomorrow.
