historic_places_hawkes_bay_logoHere is an opportunity to catch up with the history of Waimarama.  The tour will be led by local resident and kaumatua, Robert MacDonald who will meet us in Havelock North.  We will visit various historic sites around Waimarama followed by lunch at Jarks Café (price included).
