Note: change of date from the advertised date in BeNZscene

Meet at BP Service Centre SH1 Drury by 8:45am for 9:00am departure for a drive of about 1 1/2 hours. Travel down SH1 and exit at Ohinewai onto Tahuna Rd, for an indirect trip to Ngatea to look around the water gardens, allowing 1 to 2 hours there. After looking around the curated gardens and sometimes quirky signs, we literally head around the corner to The Glory Co Cafe for lunch.

For the return journey afterwards, head home along SH2/SH1 or any route you wish to take.
