Pukemokemoke




The weather is getting cooler now and autumn is definitely here. Although, in saying that, the last 2 days have been quite warm again.
It's been a long week this week, after our holiday. Monday was particularly trying. We went to bed at 9 30, but our brains thought it was 6 30, so we couldn't go to sleep. It was nearly 1 am before we went off. Eddie had to get up at  4 45, so his day was really long. Otherwise we haven't had any jet lag issues.
I went for a tramp last Sunday to a place called Pukemokemoke. It is a little hill that was a pa site at some pre European time. The timber on it was all milled. It is now owned by a trust who are doing pest monitoring and looking after the tracks. The bush is regenerating and the bird life is quite prolific. We saw 1 large totara tree that some how missed the logger's saw. The gazebo is in the centre where the logs were hauled too.
