Carlos & Siran Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Take a drive out to the heads and walk up to the gun turret, Mt Maniaia is also right there and a great view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted October 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 i like the countryside around kamo how far out are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos & Siran Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Just 5 minutes out of Kamo, down Crane Road, which is off Pipiwai Road. It should show up on google maps, thats how I find everything around here, Carlos knows alot more places around here than I do. We are at 150 Crane Road.

smidey Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 there are plenty of outdoors type things to do up here, golf, fishing, beaching, diving, DOC walks etc but other than that the city itself doesn't offer much really. there are no theme parks or anything like that, we only got a bowling alley in the last 5 years or so.

Carlos & Siran Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 how far away from zion are you? We're about 20mins away, you're more than welcome to pop in for a cuppa, but just bear in mind we're in the process of packing so the house is a shambles atm :-?

smidey Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 the park is looking good and cats well cared for that is good to hear from someone that knows what they are looking at (i assume) who has actually been there & seen them.
