Foxton Beach is under two hours drive north of Wellington - a popular place
in the summer for campers. The four wheel drive club to which we belong
holds its annual summer camp there.
Foxton Beach was described in the "4WD North Island" book as one of
the best places in lower North Island for playing and sharpening one's 4x4
skills. The sand dunes along the beach are subject to erosion and require
ongoing rehabilitation. To help prevent the erosion of the sand dunes and
to make the steep sand face safe for kids, the Club organised a Spinnifex Party. We joined the local community in planting spinnifex along the
escarpment, had a barbie (NZ term for a barbeque), before heading for plays in the sand.
Here're some of the shots from the day.
