Descriptions of our Area

My Home. By Mat
It's a small lifestyle block situated by the local school. To the south the breathtaking Kaimai Ranges stretch across the skyline. The vast green outlook from the kitchen blocks the sky. The roaring trucks speed down the highway at three in the morning. In autumn the lush green tree turns to yellow and is very beautiful.
Taurange. By Lennox
Tauranga is a small city. It is in a bay on a blue harbour and sunny.
You can always see Mount Maunganui or water.
The shops are great and there are lots of restaurants.
Lots of people grow avocados in the country.
My description of Katikati. By Jemima
You can wait there for ages sometimes. You just sit there watching the car in front's smokey fumes go up into the air. Then the car at the front of the queue revs up their motor and takes off, but you're still dribbling along at the back.
It's a small but busy town, behind us lie the Kaimai Ranges, with tracks crammed into the bush clumped hills. In front of us stretches the Tauranga Harbour leading out to the Pacific Ocean.
Katikati. By Anna
It is a beautiful town
The Uretara river peeks out at you when you enter the town. Sometimes it is a light, murky brown.
The Kaimais are visible when you look to the west.
If you're lucky when you look up into a tree, you'll see a bird's nest.
In town there are shops on either side of the road.
When there's a storm you get absolutely soaked.
It's green and never completely dry.
Some houses are pretty or ugly, close together or have space in between them, don't ask me why.
But Katikati is a beautiful town.
Pahoia. By Chris
Pahoia has green grass, a lovely landscape and freindly people everywhere. It is also very easy to grow fruit here because of the lovely weather.. Sometimes I want a storm but there aren't many in Pahoia. It is also great because we are high up so we get a really excellent view. I am so lucky to live in Pahoia, I couldn't think of a better place to live.
