Tawhranui Regional Park Day Picnic NZ
Tawhranui Regional Park is a great family day out. As a kid, we went to the park for family and work picnics on occasion over summer. One thing that I remember is that the road was rough and very long, narrow and with lots of sharp corners and we used to dread the ride out there. I also remember the very deep rock pool that dad and his workmates would throw a beer bottle into and dive in for it. Even now when I visit the park I look forward to seeing the rock pool.

I thought this wet winters day was perfect for writing up my New Years stay at Big Bay. Located at the Mahurangi Heads, North Auckland. This is another by private boat access or otherwise, I guess the Water Taxi’s at Sandspit would be a way of getting there also. Big Bay is located at the Mahurangi River Head and this makes it easy to access by boat from either Scotts Landing or Martins Bay. I was invited to join my brothers family…
