Muriwai Trip Saturday

The 'Rover' need another test run to check on fuel economy after tweaking, so we set set off to see how the gannets were getting on with their nesting.



The adult birds were busy gathering material for nest building - one egg was visible from where we were standing.

As usual, there were fishermen trying their luck out on the point


Doug took some nice close-ups of gannets here.





We then drove down to the beach and took a stroll along the sand. This man was having a good time whizzing up and down the beach on a kind of a sand board.


Doug was pleased with the petrol economy when we filled up at the end of the trip. Not too different from the Skyline.
