As these things will happen it was not long before our new base-camp on the land gained a nickname… “The Gypsy Garden“.   Tucked away at the back of the Land amidst established Kanuka and lovely Nikau palms, it is a sheltered, quiet spot.  Our little river curves about the camp on 3 sides and an old shanty serves as the cook-house while sleeping is in tents.  Click on these thumbnails for bigger photos:
