Our last full day on the island. We visited the recently opened Great Barrier Community Heritage and Arts Village at Claris. Gail tried on a crocheted Octopus hat in brilliant shades of green, blue and purple. ‘Do you think I should buy this?’
‘No.’

Later, over lunch, we discussed the new heritage centre with David.
‘I’ll need to find even more exhibits for my museum,’ he said, ‘now that I have competition.’
Gail shook her head.

David’s rabbit shooting expedition last night was unsuccessful, so he went out again in the afternoon, determined to get fresh meat for his four cats. Later, he returned triumphant. His cats are not permitted in the backpackers’ area, but they roam freely in his own quarters, and have a self-feeding system for their dry food.

And, two more photos from Gail's & my schooldays:

We are wearing pretty knee-length dresses sewed by our mothers or aunts. The seniors from Form 6A had decorated the school hall in an ancient Roman theme:
