We stayed two nights at Westport the second day the drought broke and we had our first real rainy day, which allowed us to catch up on chores and take a breath. On the way from Karamea to Westport we visited the site of the old Denniston coal mine which is 1500 feet above the coastal plain it is a wind swept spot and must have been bitter in the winter. The site has been preserved and a mine railway for tourists is under construction.
We had dinner with David Barnes and his wife, the ex Harbourmaster at Westport who we just bumped into as we were driving into the camp site (another coincidence).
