Hey Lorraine, you are on, I would love to hear what you have to say about that area. It is getting interesting.

Hi Wilma,
I do know people in Katkati area and have spent time visiting and house sitting there. Could tell you quite a bit and know of a very nice country road with properties and community similar to what you seek. Maybe we could chat over a cup of tea.

Okay Fiona, as I said out with the garlic when this type of coincidences are coming up. great news they want to come back to New Zealand and I have to pick your brain about the area a bit more.
I am pleased no horror stories about possums come to mind.

Hey Wilma; in fact Mum and Dad are talking about leaving Oz and returning to NZ and Mum is very keen to return to Katikati, so there you go… (My teenage memories are filled with weekends picking fruit – citrus, berries, avocadoes, tomatoes, kiwifruit etc etc – and then selling it in the orchard shop). Don’t remember any possums

@ Alex. Isn’t Google earth amazing so that you can see what area I am talking about. Indeed Waihi is a gold mine town and the whole goldmining thing is very opposed by the community. The goldmining has been confined to this area; although the company wanted to mine in other areas as well, the people have been successful in stopping that, even with promises of great ‘wealth’ by the company. Isn’t it great that the community choose nature as their wealth above money?? So although the existing mine is not great, it hasn’t corrupted the people, how promising is that……
