The drive from Kaitaia to Kaikohe along State Highway 1 is a twisting, uphill and down dale affair, but absolutely beautiful.
We were a bit late leaving Kaitaia on Sunday afternoon, the winter sun was all ready dropping quite low. However here are a few shots of the drive through the “Mangamukas”.

It’s about 13kms through the Mangamuka range.
Take your time. Enjoy the ride.
Have the windows down.
Listen to what’s happening in the bush.
It’s a beautiful trip.

As you get nearer to Kaikohe, Lake Omapere is on the West side of the road, but sun had all ready gone down.
