Traveling through CAMBRIDGE and looking for a dump station for those tanks,(and water) Matos Segdin Drive GPS..S37.89796, E175.44929 popsnparks told you first. Thames Coromandel Council begin public consultations for new bylaws to pave the way for limited freedom camping on the Coromandel Peninsula.

WESTERN BAY of PLENTY DISTRICT COUNCIL
has an approach to low cost and freedom camping, in my opinion, unrivalled by any other Council in this country. Is it no wonder they have very few problems, if any, from touring nasties in the bushes.
The WIN WIN solution for all.

So you have 'been everywhere' and done it all in the North Island.... Check out what Scott Cook has to say  I have found most travel books to be boring, he has also possibly found some places you may have not seen; and if you have, with Scotts zany sense of humor you will want to go back and see it again. This is a MUST in your NZ travel pack, even before the sun block and insect repellant. South Island book coming soon... ___________________________
