On 25th of April it was ANZAC day a day celebrating the memories of those soldiers who served in any war at all. Especially Gallipoli and World War 2.
There were Dawn services.
However Rick and I took off and went to Port Waikato. Saw Tuakau Bridge on the way.
I got a lot of photos of Port Waikato, its a long drive and I did not want to waste this opportunity. So here they are. See for yourself.
Headed off and it was a very long drive there and back
#1 Port Waikato
This is a view taken from up a hill. To be honest this was taken some years ago. There used to be a cafe down hill there then, now its closed down and the building is up for sale.
#2 Sunset Beach Port Waikato
#3 Rocks on Sunset Beach
Various people here, either fishing or walking dogs, going for a walk or something else.
I agree Tzwrites. The people who buy it would need to like where they live and be really good at it. I give them 5 years.
The beautiful place actually. Do you know why the cafe was closed and sold? Is it due to loss? Are there not many visitors there?
I can make an accurate guess, the truth is that outsiders would fine it differcult to maintain, there aren’t many visitors and not much work going for locals. Few people to use the premises and sometimes fights inside the cafe.
Its a hard place to live unless a dramatic influx of population and increased job activity happens. Plus a huge improvement of public transport.
There are virtually no shops or supplies.
With such a condition it must be difficult to develop a business… it is understandable why the business is closed, even, if feasibility studies have been done beforehand, the cafe business will not be implemented
