Something a little different over on YouTube tonight, Bronson built a rock tumbler 🔨 when we lived in our caravan we spent a lot of time at beaches and you know what that means? We collected a lot of rocks! 😅 buckets full of them...

So we decided it was time to whip up a D.I.Y rock tumbler and see if we could smooth and polish the rocks we have collected over the years.

Will it work? Join us over on YouTube to find out (Link below)

Over the last few years, we have traveled around New Zealand in our RV and visited some amazing beaches. On those beaches, we collected a fair few buckets of...

🎃 Pumpkins 🎃 Last season we accidentally grew a whole lot of crown pumpkins (they just popped up in the corner of our property) so this year we thought we would try our hand at growing some different varieties. Chelsea grew some beautiful Triambles and Red Kuri and I (Bronson) only managed to grow the ugliest looking Blue Hubbard you have ever seen 😅

If pumpkins are your thing head on over to our YouTube and check out the pumpkin money-making side hustle we have going on!

The Coromandel just gets better and better! Think we might have found a new favorite travel spot 😉🌞 The next part of our adventure is now live on YouTube
https://youtu.be/hUF1qBftKCE?si=yfCSflDYYQk1r3-g

📍 Shakespeare Cliff Lookout, Cooks Beach

How's this for a parking spot?!

📍 Kūaotunu Beach Reserve - A large grass spot right next to the beach, golden sands, safe swimming, a rope swing into the estuary, awesome coffee, and woodfired pizza just across the road! If only you could camp there overnight (It's day parking only 😉)

Coromandel Beach Days 🌞

30/01/2024

I think we have found a new favorite beach 😍 Simpsons Beach is located just north of Whitianga in the Coromandel. A mix of black and golden sands and is nice and safe for swimming. It's also home to a pretty stunning Park Over Property so if you are an NZMCA member you can camp just meters from the water (TD # 2024) ⛱

🚴 Whakarewarewa Forest Loop 🚴 If you are looking to tick off one of the great rides and want to start easy we can highly recommend the Whakarewarewa loop in Rotorua.

Chelsea and I ditched the kids and jumped on our bikes to do the loop and had a great time, 32km of mostly grade 2 trails through the stunning forests. The trail also takes you around the blue and green lakes and has some awesome views. All in all a pretty easy going trail with a climbs followed by some fun downhills 😁

Highly recommended if you are ever in Rotorua 👍
