Day forty-five was a beauiful fine day. We all did jobs around our motorhomes and then explored Waihi Beach and then drove to Bowentown and noted the baches and the new baches that was above them. We drove into Waihi and most did laundry. Mort and I decided to do the Martha Mine tour. This was an excellent way to see the mines and the whole system in mining gold.
The rest spent time in town and walking around the mine before we all drove to Paeroa. We parked at the racecourse and intend visiting the motorhome show tomorrow. Paeroa is a motorhome friendly town with a special area in the main street where vans can park with power, water and a dump station. All for five dollars.
