After coffee in the famous MacDonalds Dakota DC3, we had a delightful sail on the Barbary, a ketch built in California in 1926 with a history including Errol Flynn. There were three other Aussie ladies one of whom had done a lot of travelling in the bush. The sail took us to see some amazing Mauri rock carvings done some 30 years ago in a very inaccessible place.
The next day we had a fantastic trip across the Rangiroro desert road to the Horopito vintage vehicle scrap yard, the largest and oldest in Australasia. They have got parts for seemingly every type of car and could well be useful for UK restorers. The place got its name from a film made there called Smash Palace.
