I’ve decided to share more images than words that encapsulate the rural and isolated areas of the East Coast and Tokomaru.
It’s all about pipi dancing, holding onto a fishing rod, sand between the toes and slow strolls along the beach sort of place. On most days, not a lot happens down on Tokomaru Bay.
Boy on a horse with Whale Island in the distanceDue to the hilly terrain, the iconic woolshed sheep farming is still popular in this part of N.Z..Disused building – endless potential Tokomaru Bay Wharf – ship stories galore if it could talkA different day, a different time – the same wharf at Tokomaru BayFancy a bit of a stroll?
I love those wharf shots, Suzanne! Can you walk out along it? Probably not safely. And I love the reclining fisherman. One day he might just catch something.
Hi Jo, thanks and yes we walked along it though that change depending on the weather etc. All fishermen do is chat and be one with the ocean, a bonus if they catch a fish, so I’m told.

Piglet is cute though short so I preferred my other companion who is tall and back then walked faster than the piglet 😉

It’s a slightly isolated, having said that it would be an ideal place to stay for a budding writer.
