So after we left the Macadamia Farm we drove a bit further up the coast to Shelly Beach where we sat and watched a runabout with two men being rescued, I think their outboard had conked out!
Then we drove home, had pizza for tea and watched the election day results in between a few more soaks in the pool!
Wording on the monument:-
This monument was placed here in 1990 as a sequicentennial gesture. It replaces the original stone that was placed here in 1884 to commemorate the Great Meeting House erected on the foreshores of Herepiiti Aotea. We thank both the Maori & Pakeha for their combined efforts to mark this historical occasion.
Maori - indigenous people of NZ
Pakeha - originally referring to the early European settlers of NZ
