Gday
I live in a house in Waikokowai on the crossroads, right across the road from the old store, its actually odd but over the years I've met a number of people who know the town, or lived in it we are constantly amazed, your another one. The weirdest was my good friends auntie who actually lived in our house as a kid she's about 70 now and was over on holiday from Aussie too. She had trouble recognizing the place due to the amount of renovation we have done fixing the place up. We've way over invested but that's sorta immaterial as we love it here and plan never to leave, been 10 years now.
Its not the bend going out of town that's nearly caught me but coming down the hill into Waikokowai there's a really deceptive negative camber bend, you only ever do it at speed once. Two mates have ended up in the gravel there so far (not come off thankfully). Here's a pic, you can see the street sign.
Whoops hijacking this thread with my enthusiasm sorry.
