Hi Nicola,

We are off to Kerikeri next month. Haven't been there myself for 20 years but hubby likes it after spending five days looking around there ... and I guess that is half the battle. :icon_lol:

My kids range from 5 to 13 and I guess Whangarei will be our nearest city. Incidentally, I know it should be pronounced 'Fongeray' but do the locals pronounce it that way? Or just in formal or Maori company? We always called it 'Wongeray' when growing up in Auckland, but that was probably before Maori culture took off (ouch, showing my age!).

Glad to hear you like Northland ... makes us feel hopeful.
