so here goes the list of things to do in Havelock:
- go see the glow worms at night, bring a torch, up the street by the war memorial opposite of the hotel, find the track that's signposted 'track to water fall', head up there, continue, further, then you see a few glow worms, further still, and there's millions of them. About 20 minutes to walk and for free unlike so many other places.
- Check out the museums. The fish museum is five dollars and actually quite nice. The local history one is free and peculiar. It also features a lemon- and an orange tree in the garde, which may be of greater interest.
- Have fudge at the fudge place
- Drink beer in the bar of the hotel and play pool
- Go kayaking in the sounds
- Go hang gliding over Havelock (don't crash)
- Bike out to beaches to gather cockles, you dig them up from the sand at the tidal beach. They hide just a few centimeters down.
- Pool up your friends, load them into a truck,bring a power torch and a gun and go for a possum hunt in the hills
- Go deer/pig hunting by boat.
- Pick apples off road side trees
- Bike up all gravel roads you can find
- Hitch out to Pelorous Bridge to hike around
- Read loads of books and old National Geographic
- Do the Nydia or Queen Charlotte track (this is the only one I haven't done myself)
- Play cards and monopoly with other travellers
- Tell tall tales and have tea and apple crumble made from those self picked apples
