Our new sub division at Waikawa, Strathnaver Glen, there's a few more dwellings since this shot was taken...quite a few more, which is excellent to see not that the "old-click" seem to agree; but hey...thats progress for you, everyone has to die sometime as NO ONE lasts forever don't you agree.
Just another great shot before leaving the mouth after a great days whitebaitng last September eve.
Nice and orderly with everyone using their manners...a rare moment at Waikawa beach I can tell you! "Townies talk about rules & regulations...Tangata Whenua talk about manners and ettiquette because the townies don't do the "recycle" thing like Tangata Whenua; they won't even know what that means!!! Unfortunately; some find out the hard way!
The WhiteBait ran like...during this flood, and not many came out to play that day!

The Ohau We Love to Dance made this video to wish everyone a Happy Summer Holiday 2006/7. Although we train our dogs for dancing, they also know how to enjoy themselves at the beach.
