Dargaville

dcp_0014.JPGdcp_0006.JPGWe went into Dargaville this afternoon..dcp_0017.JPGdcp_0004.JPGdcp_0009.JPG It was quite busy today. To be honest when I took these pics it was about 4.30 in the afternoon, and it was starting to quieten down a bit. All the dairy farmers would have gone home to get the cows milked.   Small country towns like Dargaville usually start to get a bit quieter about 3.00 pm – people go home to feed calves, milk cows, pick the kids up from school and most of the shops will close their doors - bang on 5.00 o’clock. Woolworths and the Warehouse are open until about 8.00 pm.

  1. Hey, it looks like Dargaville is bustling.

    Seriously I do miss being able to walk down the main street of Dargaville and see at least a couple of people to stop and chat with. Popping my head into shops and saying hello is always nice when I’m back. You don’t get the same sense of community here in the UK.

    There is also something nice about things closing bang on 5.00 – it gives a nice work/life balance that is disappearing here in the UK.
