A picturesque spot overlooking the estuary. Time for a good old natter and the chance to compare home-made beer at room temperature with the chilled variety so favoured in Australia and New Zealand!

Daniel Kearvell (Laurie and Annie’s son) his partner, Kerri Mudgway and their two sons Aidan and Flynn from Pongakawa met up with us at Touranga Tourist Park where Kerri had organised a booking for our Campervan - the park is owned and run by her parents. A beautifully warm afternoon when the ice-cold beer went down a treat!
