Trip To Warkworth, Goat Island Whangere And Bay Of Island Part 2
Well....after Warkworth we straight to Whangere town looking for food "dinner". It took about 3 hours driving from Warkworth to Whangere...arrived there at 7pm. Then from Whangere we were to Rusell, Bay Of Island using old road....it take us 3 hours driving, arrived there at 10.00pm.
5.30am...Morning at Rusell
At Signboard
About Rusell, Bay Of Island.....small town and not many people live there. At night so quite and only me, Arthur and Ali G was in the small town. There are 5 small town at Bay Of Island such Kerikeri, Waitangi, Paihia, Opua and Russell. Kerikeri is NZ's Top Small Town and enjoys a subtropical climate in the world-famous Bay of Islands. Someone said....the best small place to live, love, work and raise a family in New Zealand....but for me quite boring!!! Emmm we just overnight inside Arthur car "budget to save a money".
New Zealand's Graveyard.....
We arrived in Russell in a downpour and, having heard of its reputation as a sleepy small town, imagined a quiet few days inside with some good books. But my sense of exploration soon led me outside to see if there was anything for city folk to do - and I found plenty.
Dangerous But Beautiful Place......There Are More Than 100 Island Around Here
There is the history lesson, colonial meets Maori. Russell's treasure is Christ Church, New Zealand's oldest-surviving church - and a bullet hole-ridden one at that - complete with an overgrown graveyard and some of the oldest European graves in the country, such as that of Hannah Lethbridge, the first European woman born in New Zealand.
Well, at least this town doesn't take itself too seriously. How could it? It was once a place of debauchery with the nickname "hellhole of the Pacific". These days it's a quiet place, but the residents of Russell are eager to share it with visitors. They wonder why more Aucklanders don't visit them for the winter rather than go to Fiji or Australia.
Whangere Waterfall........just take a breath!!
