Clermont

Today we drove 476kms from Charters Towers to Emerald. We are staying at the same caravan park we stayed at on our way north, but this time in an unpowered site so we can stay hooked up.

The road surface was variable with some vey bouncy sections. There is just one roadhouse between Charters Towers and Clermont, which is the only town on the drive, 100kms north of Emerald. Anita went to use the toilet at the Belyando Crossing Roadhouse and investigate the food and drink options, but she resented the $2 fee, refundable with any purchase from the shop. Fortunately we travel with our own facilities! This would be a terrible part of the country to get sick or have a breakdown - there is literally no other facility along that stretch of road.

We refuelled at the BP in Clermont where this tree has been laden with boots and shoes. Why? Who knows, who cares!

Drive Napier to Whanganui

Image
Our first stop was at the Hastings Farmers' Market, which is so popular it is held every Sunday - sun, rain or hail. The queues for coffee were too long for us to wait, but we bought two lovely croissants from a French baker's stall. We picked up coffees in town at the cinema cafe. Something we don't see at home is milk being sold in reusable bottles. It is decanted from a bulk container so is labour intensive. We stopped for lunch at Palmerston North. There are several wall murals in the city but none were very good. The art deco style "Ladies Rest" was built in 1937. Inside there are arm chairs in a lounge area, original tiles and some original plumbing. When first built it was just rendered, but the current colours work really well.

Fingal Bay

I scootered 4kms along the bike path to Fingal Bay. This bay is outside Port Stephens but I was surprised to see a Surf Life Saving Club because the sea was absolutely flat. The sand spit can wash away during high tides stranding people on Mount Stephens.

Wanganui

The town's name is spelt without an h, but the river is Whanganui. There have even been referenda about the spelling, with or without the h. Finally the powers that govern such things decreed either is acceptable for the name of the town. This must be a challenge for computer mapping programs and manufacturers of GPS guidance technology. These wonderful old buildings are in Victoria Avenue, down near the river. They date from the mid 1800s and have been well preserved. Earthquakes caused significant damage in 1843 and 1897, but not to the same extent as the destruction of much of Napier. In the past month there have been dozens of earthquakes rated weak to moderate in New Zealand and nearby waters, including a magnitude 4.1 quake 30 kms south of Wanganui (in the Cook Strait between the north and south islands). Fingers crossed there won't be another disastrous event.
