Photos of trip to water gardens

Waiuku and environs

Went on a trip with the Silverdale Historical Society recently to visit the museum in Waiuku. It was crammed full of all sorts of collections from dolls, ornaments, dolls prams, tools etc. Had a great home baked morning tea of the traditional kind up on the first floor. This buildding was formerly the fire station which has a nice new building next door. There were several cottages attached to the museum one of which housed crafts and preserves for sale. We are enjoying a jar of delicious lemon homey at present from their shelves - a big jar which cost only $4. l Willl have to try and make some myself when it runs out.

After going there we went on to Wrights Water Gardens in an old quarry complete with water fall, ponds etc. The flowers and other plantings were very beautiful.
