Kawau Island

Today Sue and Dennis took us out on their little boat for a trip to Kawau Island.  The house is called the Mansion House and it was built by Governor Grey, the first governor of NZ .   The beach is called Lady's Bay  because it was where his wife used to go and bathe everyday.  She would take a carriage there every day and it was literally less than a five minute walk from the house.  Ah, the life of the idle rich!

I took a photo of the white peacock strolling the grounds.
