MORE WEST COAST BEST COAST STORIES

SOUTHSIDE

There is a river that has mud in it that you can throw at people. Wood and more wood and sand and finally water. But there are lots and lots of thorns. That is the bad bit. Also nice cool water so when your feet are too hot go in the water. I like watching the water when a kawhai is being hauled in. I like eating kawhai.

GREYMOUTH

30 minutes from Hokitika to Greymouth. Greymouth has a great movie place and you can act for people. There is a big river in Greymouth and on the other side are small towns. At the warehouse you can buy anything practically. My favourite two places are KFC and McDonald’s. By Aimee

HOKITIKA

Hokitika has a lot of lovely places to visit. You could go to the Jade Factory to see all of the jade or visit the Custom House by the river. The town clock would make a lovely photo but if you want to see a boat the Tambo would be the place, you could look out at the sea or have a play on the beach. So Hokitika would be the best place on the coast.

 WAIMANGAROA

My favourite place in the West coast is Waimangaroa.  Some of my family live there and when I go there I stay at my Nana’s and Pop’s  farm and sometimes I help my Pop shift the cows. My cousins live on the same farm and me and Dad  walk down to their house with my dog Benny and I play with them then go back to Nanas and Pops. One time when I was there I saw a new born calf with its Mum trying   to walk. I always have lots of fun there  and I am always sad to come home.

Can You Guess?

Across two rivers and half an hour away. One of our papers is named after the town. With lots of shops like The Warehouse, Subway, McDonalds, Toy World and KFC. Isla Grant performs at the theatre and they have , the aquatic centre and the hospital.

With all these clues can you guess where my favourite place on the West Coast is? You guessed it. Greymouth is my favourite place on the West Coast because of all the shops like the warehouse and toy world. Also the great food places like Maggie’s Kitchen, Steamers and McDonalds.       

Greymouth’s park is really fun to play at and a great spot to have fish and chips with a fish and chip shop just across the road.

Lake Kaniere

Lake Kaniere is the 2^nd deepest   lake in New Zealand.

Lake Kaniere   is a fun place because you can kayak to an Island or swim to the Island and there is a cave on the Island.   The water is warm and if you are on a biscuit tied to a jet boat and you go over a wave from the boat you will get big air time and you will probably   fall off from the water.
