Och Aye Waipu

As usual at the weekends we took ourselves off for a beach walk this time the glorious stretch of Waipu Cove.


A long long time ago in a land far far away Waipu was founded by some Scotts settlers who were evicted from their homelands by the lairds, went off to Nova Scotia, got chucked out, went to Oz at Goldrush time, which was too rough for their Calvinist principles so they ended up here, creating a quiet east coast farming community...Mike met up with an auld couple, Archie & Heather McBrown and their wee bairn Gordon, they invited us to the Highland Games they hold every year on New Years Day!

Can someone please tell Nurse Diver that Waipu A&E might be less
stressfull than Stepping Hill !
