What. A. House. I'd love to have that much room. And the peacocks are so friendly! haha Beautiful rocks and geology there... thanks for sharing!

[@GeoRick]

Yes a large house. Sir George Grey added 22 rooms to the miner managers house!

[@Komikino]

I am always envious of the cool places you get to go caching. Thanks for showing us these amazing places.

[@GeoRick]

Glad you like them. As we can't travel overseas we are searching out places that we hope people will like seeing around here. Have been amazed at how many are around that we have either not known about or take for granted.

Beautiful island. That would be a wonderful house to own. So many nice rooms and the many porches to sit on and enjoy the island breezes. The colours there are so vibrant. Nice island tour. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@GeoRick]

Thanks yes would love to live there too. I have visited it three times over the years and the water there is always this lovely blue.

Beautiful island and Governors house. You guys sure are lucky coming into Summer, while, us poor Irish are heading into Winter soon...... Gorgeous video and perfect soundtrack.. You must have found every Geocache on the islands by now, yes!

[@GeoRick]

Still a few to go. We don't get as many as others do due to the time it takes to film but we have fun doing it. Yes hopefully your Winter will be mild this year and our summer not too hot :-)

Very nice tour! It seems that peacocks behave the same way all over the world 😂😂

[@GeoRick]

Yes those peacocks were a little aggressive. When the cafe is open over summer they suggest you eat inside :-)

[@catherinewoods3132]

Really surprised you were able to eat with the peacocks so close! Looked like a great spring day.

[@GeoRick]

We had to eat our sandwiches fast that day :-)

Oo I thought the deck hand was going to drop that tank of LP gas into the water. Nice blue waters. It looks like very peaceful living there. Awesome mansion for the Governor. Thanks for the tour of the island. Very cool.

[@GeoRick]

Thanks glad you liked it. Yes good job he held on to the wharf or it might have been him and the gas tank going in. On a sunny day the water is always particularly blue there, not sure why.

[@inquisitivemind7649]

Peaceful walking tracks ,native forest to beaches, Maori Pa sites and old copper mine.

[@GeoRick]

Yes its a great place to visit.

[@BrentSmithsimrebel]

[@GeoRick]

Glad you liked it. Mansion House Bay is known for it beauty something to do with the water being so blue there.

[@BrentSmithsimrebel]
