Coromandel Photos

These photos are from a small area on the lower eastern Coromandel Coast 

Photos left to right:

- Te Karo Bay ( also known as Sailor's Grave Beachas there is an old gravesite here from a ship that sunk nearby )
- The Alderman Islands from Te Karo Bay
- Otara Bay - after a beautiful walk along a bush track from Te Karo Bay 
- Woodpigeon in the bush at Opoutere Youth Hostel - a recommended place to stay, very peaceful with stunning views over the harbour.
- The rather unusually hooped Belted Galloway in a paddock near Ohui.
- Boat Restoration at Tairua Harbour - a big job by the looks.
- Tairua Beach with Paku hill in the background
- Opoutere Harbour, one of the prettiest places around
- Opoutere Harbour at Sunset taken from the Youth Hospital
- Opoutere beach resting place. The seats have names on them for the people who installed them.

The next 3 photos are of Ohui ( The Meeting Place ) which is at the northern end of Opoutere beach.
Early this year we had the opportunity of a lifetime to purchase into a shareholding arrangement with 14 other families at this private end of the beach. It is Paradise and if you find yourself in this part of the world you are most welcome to come and stay for a few nights.
