Today we headed back along the Russell Road to the Rawhiti peninsula, a very sleepy backwater, and a partially sealed road so not much traffic. Kaingahoa Bay is home to a small Maori community with a campsite situated on their marae overlooking the water.
At Rawhiti there is a boat ramp and a shop selling bait! Not much else there other than a lovely view out over the islands.
On the way back we stopped to climb a hill looking down over Oke Bay. A very peaceful area, and some good walking options here including a full day walk to Cape Brett from where you can see the famous Hole in the Rock that all the commercial boat trips head out to from Russell and Paihia.
