Sunday driving - Kawakawa Station & Tora Coastal walk

Coastal WalkHaving survived another Winter, we decided to dust off our walking boots and head for a new and unventured part of New Zealands’ back country. Our new adventure takes us to the South Eastern most tip of the North Island, Kawakawa Station and its 2 day 2 night walk.
We arrived later afternoon at Kawakawa Cottage to be greeted by our hosts, the Furniss family. After our briefing on the following days walk we were left in our modest, yet comfortable accommodation to enjoy the tasty and generous portioned meals that they had supplied for us.
 

Unveiling Fensham... A hidden natural wonder in Carterton

FenshamThe Wairarapa is full of amazing places to visit that are off the beaten track and are not well known to visitors and even locals. Fensham Reserve is one such place. Just five minutes west of Carterton, Fensham is 29 hectares of primary and regenerating native bush, and a further three hectares of wetlands, all administered by Forest and Bird and open to the public.
A Key Native Ecosystem (KNE) in the Wellington Region and home to the endangered brown mudfish, it was gifted to the Royal Forest and Bird Society by the late John Fensham, who was well ahead of his time in his wish that the reserve be preserved for future generations.
 

Tora Coastal Walk Wins Award

A Wairarapa tourism venture, the Tora Coastal Walk, has won the inaugural Enterprising Rural Woman Award.

The venture is run by Jenny Bargh and Kiri and Kath Elworthy. Rural Women New Zealand, which organises the award, says it established the competition to highlight the innovative ways women are contributing to the rural economy.

The organisation’s president, Margaret Chapman, says the passion shown by the women for their business, its economic success and their contribution to the rural community were the deciding factors in the win.
