I had heard there were turtles to be seen out at the edge of where the tide goes out. I had to walk a long way and didn't see any, but the walk was worth it just for the view and the other things I saw.
@chikadnz at the moment we are in Noosa and are here until Tuesday. I am rather behind with posting, have been at Toowoomba, then Tara, then Surfers and now Noosa! If you are in this vicinity my mobile number is +64 274835246
@randystreat I am sure there were lots of huge crabs, the holes were really big. Comments have been made about POV, but it wasn't that I was really close to the beach, it was just that the holes and the little piles of mud were so big!
@chikadnz Oh what a shame I'm not home at the moment. There are some great places for photographs in Taranaki! The Three Sisters at Tongaparutu is fabulous! Have to go there on low tide though. Back Beach is also pretty good. I love going there. There is the shipwreck of the SS Gairloch near Oakura is pretty interesting as are the lighthouses around the coast. Then of course is Pukekura Park, Pukeiti, the mountain and the walkway including Te Rewa Rewa bridge (under repair at the moment so not quite so good). If you are into looking at gardens or classic cars you would be welcome to visit our home - even though we are not there can arrange someone to open sheds for you! I would be very happy for you to visit :-)
@dkbarnett thats a lovely offer but unfortunately we wont be able to take you up on it this time as we are heading south and have a ferry to catch, if it goes! Hope we have another opportunity to meet with you sometime in the future.
