Colville and Beyond

---

On the 16th we drove 30kms north of Coromandel to Colville. Colville is a one street, 10 houses town. Here we stayed on a farm stay backpackers. Our main reason for staying in Colville was to do the Fletcher Bay to Stoney Bay walk. This walk started at the top of the Coromandel Peninsula, the drive was windy gravel road that took us1hr and 10 mins to do. At one point it took us 20mins to go 6km. The walk took 3 hrs to do one way, so we only went half and then turned around. The walk started through farmland, then dropped down to the coastline and into a bay. We stopped for lunch in Poley Bay and collected some Paua shells. From there we walked another hour to the lookout point where we could see Stoney Bay and almost back to Fletcher Bay (the starting point). Then we just had to survive the bone jarring ride home on the wash board gravel road!
