Opunake BeachA drive further along from yesterdays post took us to Opunake. Without meaning offence, as with many townships around NZ (well…the world), its one of those ‘blink and you miss it’ places. A small, and nice township, first surveyed (by westerners) in 1868.

Stopping in for a packed lunch, the waves were strong. Typical of these west coast areas. A number of people were fishing off the beach, although with no success in the time we sat and watched as we ate our sandwiches.

I didn’t really spend much time in the township, but for anyone passing through, have a look ‘here’.

As with others – shot on the GRD IV and resized in Gimp.
