Thursday 15th Nov A short drive from the hotel to visit Bushman's Centre in Pukekura. This Centre show how people make a living on the coast with sphagnum moss growing, old timber-milling techinques, possum trapping and helicopter Deer recovery. First, we watched the quick film about the Deer recovery. It was quite awful to watch the deers being killed in the old days. But now, they just saved the deers and moved them into different regions. We walked around th...

Wednesday 14th Nov A short drive from the hostel to visit Cape Foulwind and Tauranga Bay where we saw the largest Seal Colony in New zealand.
