Other things to do in Havelock

Sorry guy, I know the whole blogging thing came to a screeching halt here in Havelock and it's only me to blame. The internet has not agreed with picture upload, but it's not like I couldn't have written about what we have been doing and it's not like I've just been making beds and vacuuming kitchen floors.

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
