"DSC_2814c" Maungaroa Lookout Track 2/1/‎2024 [Nikon Z-50]

The Piha Stream is where I had my first brush with death as a young child (4). I left the track we were following (now Glenesk Road) to check out the stream and slipped in, sinking deep into the cold water. Realising I was going to drown and believing I would go to heaven I relaxed but that allowed me to float and paddle to the bank. I didn't tell my parents as I would have been restricted in where I could go unaccompanied! Other brushes with death resulted in my GP getting my attendance at kindergarten expedited!
