2 days off so down via the Hamilton gardens to Waitomo



The surreal Garden was!


At Waitomo we went into the Rua Kuri cave




Glow worms fishing for dinner



Then back home via Te Akau, to show from whence I have come

Looking across to the MacDougall place, which I guess is Derek Bregmans still

I have trouble looking out this way and reconciling it with my memory

But this one, the Bluff I remember well

Looking towards the Philburn House, that’s who my father worked for


Looking the other way, we lived there, it has changed a lot, not for the better

And the local primary school, there were just above a hundred pupils when I left there
Updates

How it was in my childhood
