OPINONI

Lib and I left Opinoni two weeks ago on Thursday 21 Feb. On that morning we walked the shore of the river looking for a lucky stone for our friend Raelene. Years ago at lakes Entrance we found a stone on the beach at Lakes Entrance while walking with Raelene and her husband John. Raelene carried her stone as acharm all over the world till she lost her handbag one day I think in Morocco. So we have another for Raelene and we hope she likes it.

We stayed in the 'studio' apartment behind me, two nights

Opinono is on the west coast. Highlights were the Tane Matua Kaurri tree, 2000 years old it is estimated, and the Koutu boulders (good feed of oysters off the rocks), picnic lunch one day at a remote beach. We loved the area.

Hippy Geologist - we bought a painting at his gallery
