Day 88 : Wentworth falls

• Tried for the first time to free camp we stayed in a picnic site / lay-by with no signs to say we couldn't. We were asleep early prob by 8.30 - 9. At about 11pm we were woken up by flashing police lights outside and we were thinking ahhhh but after ages and more flashing lights and stuff, a massive lorry went past and I think it was just an escort for the extra wide load. We then we didn't sleep so well and Will was convinced the wind was gonna topple the van!
• Drove to Whangamata where I bought a hat and gloves from a pound shop (and a Welsh flag for Sunday)
• Walked along the Wentworth valley to a waterfall
• Drove to Waihi and saw a huge open gold / mineral mine
• Found a caravan park in Waihi beach for a hopefully more restful nights sleep!
