Nothing repulsive about this bay, thinks Jane. It's quite lovely in fact. What was a little challenging, though, (but definitely not repulsive) was the many, many mainland tourists who crowded around our children (like seagulls do when you open up your fish and chips packet). They wanted to touch their hair, take pictures and generally ooh and aah over them. Many were astounded that we had three children! Laura and I felt like Tom and Nicole at Bondi Beach circa late 90's. The kids didn't mind the attention. I wonder how they will cope being non-celebrities back in Australia?
The Bamboo Grovers are an Aussie family who live in New Zealand. The following is a reverse chronological sampling of their memories-in-the-making.
