Day #2 Activity #1 - New Zealand by Land and Sea




I learnt that Dargaville has interesting history to it so I wanted to know more about it. I found out that Maraes are everywhere around this river. I also learnt that the person who established the township was Joseph McMullen. In the 1870's they did gum digging and kauri felling. Kauri gum is used to make plenty of things like statues and jewellery. From all the learning about Dargaville I think I would visit again!

The place that really stole my eyes was Karekare beach. The beautiful sunset and the smooth sand looked really pretty. Also that facts about this beach makes it very memorable. It would be a really good place to have a picnic and I would definitely like to go in Summer. This beach is not only a popular one  it is a beautiful and extraordinary beach that everyone should experience going to.

Hi Alicia....
I like how you learnt lots about Dargaville and the interesting history behind it. Maybe you could try and define what the Maori words are just to make it more understandable for other people who don't understand Maori. Overall I really like your post today and hope to see more like this. Cheers!
