The end of October, and it is time to get the caravan out of the shed and have a few days away at Ohiwa.

Lots of pairs of quail at the camping ground this year. |
The most distressing thing to see was the state of the roads. The slip between Opotiki and Ohiwa had closed the road for a few days the week before. Todd and Nola told us that the camping ground was cut off for a short while, and hard to get to for a couple of weeks.
We went for a drive around to the boat ramp - the walking track is a mess - and there were big trees that had slid down banks.

The ground still looks very unstable.
