Painting of Punakaki River Valley.

Punakaiki River Valley

 by K John Toomer.

 I was visiting a friend in a rest home when  this painting on the wall in the foyer caught my eye. I thought I recognized the area, it's the Punakaiki River on the West Coast of the South Island, NZ. As a child I spent a lot of summer weekends in this area as my uncle had a batch on the river and he frequently took a carload of cousins, aunties and uncles out there for the day and after the batch was completed, for the weekend.

Gate to the beach track

 This is the back gate from where we used to stay as kids.

Through the gate, down the bush track and 

you were at the river mouth and the beach.

Great times.
