Little old houses

There are quite a few little old houses in the far north of New Zealand where I live. These 4 are in and around Awanui and Kaitaia. I always like to imagine their history and memories that they hold inside.

Awanui Art

We were travelling through Awanui last week and finally got to see the finished result of this mural that has taken a few weeks to complete. Although this might look quite simple it actually isn't. The artist is Cody Paparoa who lives in the nearby town of Kareponia. It's been painted on the front wall of a Chorus exchange building - Chorus is the company who basically own the phone/internet/fibre/broadband lines in New Zealand and technicians can enter these buildings all over the country as part of repairing problems.

St Joseph's Anglican Maori Church

St Joseph's Anglican Maori Church is located just on the outskirts of Awanui and was built roughly around 1887. It was given it's name in compliance with the wish of the principal chiefs in commemoration of of the missionary work done by Reverend Joseph Matthews and the ministry of lay-reader Joseph Poutama.

We visited this area in 2018 but never got to venture inside but still a nice tidy church and cemetery nonetheless.

Winter in Awanui

We were up in Awanui yesterday driving through the Far North and stopped near a cafe. We haven't had alot of rain here where we are but it looks like they had had some. The river where these boats are moored was quite full and the ground very soggy with overgrown grass.

Back to work today, it's the start of another week...
