The outdoor fitness capital of NZ. You get the feeling every local is capable of giving you 10 one-handed push ups, while holding a coffee in the other. It is a very long way to come to a dead end road. A couple of hundred metres down from where we chose to camp there were some clean but rather dated public toilets. I found myself taking a good look at these so I knew where I would have to run in the event of an emergency.
About 1km from the beachside camping areas is the freedom camping area for CSC vehicles as you can see from the beach there is a slight difference in ease of access to the beach between the two spots and when you get to the area itself the state of the area is also rather sad.
Deep ruts where people have got stuck mark almost the whole area which is also not very level and I must say it would have been something of a disappointment if we had needed to stay here.
In the height of summer you can stay in one of the 15 spaces here without permission but you need council permission to stay down at the beach. Further down the beach is a campground which does not appear to be advertised anywhere and seems full of permanent holiday caravans right across the beachfront. Afterwards I tried to find out about it online without success.
Some of the people that we spoke to who were moving on that day suggested that the walk to the point was an enjoyable one so we decided to take up the idea. It seems so strange being at such a beautiful beach without another soul there. Mr Blobby really approved of the place such a short stroll to the beach, he is really becoming quite the experienced traveler. Although with all this beautiful scenery his favoured position seems to be in the shade underneath the motorhome.
Alternatively we could put him on a harness and lead but that seems such a sad thing to do to a 20 year old cat who has never worn one before. Of course we cannot go anywhere these days without breaking out the bikes and heading off for a ride to explore the area.
The signage at the entrance to the settlement talks about Pourerere being the site of the first sheep station in the Hawkes Bay and also that Captain Cook anchored offshore to receive the local Maori and presented them with various gifts. Given how the hills behind the beach are these days completely devoid of trees it would be fascinating to go back in time if you could and see what the country looked like in those days.
Back in the settlers built a church on a small knoll that was before that a fortified Pa site. Obviously the preservation of heritage was viewed rather differently then.
