Mataia Homestead 1 June

We met at the beautiful historical Mataia Homestead on the Kaipara Harbour and did the brownie ring call to 23 Woppers today.We were welcomed by the owner Jill and made our way up to a gully that we planted out with small grasses and flax bushes.There was lots of laughs and giggles as we dug in  800 plants, and some ladies  got bogged down in the centre of the gully and lost the odd gumboot in the mud. I teamed up with a nice lady Deb and we had a great time yakking and planting and worked well together.Jill talked to us about the Kiwis on the land and how the planting we did would help them for their food intake in the years to come.Lunch was lovely hot soup, rolls, cheese platter, fruit and chocolate cake… Better than any cafe food I have to say.I really enjoyed my day out and met some great ladies, Thankyou Pam for organising
