A garet experience going to Kawa island


Going to Kawau island was a great experience. This place was beautiful! I had a lot of fun camping with both friends and teachers.
The first night that we spent on the island, away from home, I noticed that the view of the sea was absolutely stunning. The moon was bright, the water was calm and we were all excited to be there.
Playing spot light was a lot if fun with friends and helpers, teachers. Playing spot light was a grate way to stared off camp.


Did you know that Nicolas Ludwig Christian Bentzon, who was born in Denmark in the mid 1800's became a fisherman when he emigrated to New Zealand. Mr Bentzon had a small mullety named "Zhamrock" and he anchored frequently in North Cove. Finding the area to his liking he purchased thirty acres of land and it wasn't until he was 80 years of age that he had a small cottage built on the property. Even then he continued to sleep on his boat as his cottage had no bed and on the occasions he was ashore he slept on the floor.
