The Flying Tortoise Freedom Camping At The Historic Tokomaru Bay...

Way back when, beautiful Tokoramu Bay was originally know as Toka-a-Namu which referred to an abundance of sandflies in the area but those days are gone and the little pests that are left are old and sleepy. And the little town is far from it's heyday back in the early 1900's when this beautiful old New Zealand Shipping Company building was constructed.
Captain James Cook spent time here in 1769 and The Flying Tortoise was at Tokomaru Bay
just a few days ago.
Funny how we just missed each other...
