  • Description

    Description

    I, Adeline moved from New Caledonia in 2017 to live with Andy, a kiwi from Bay of Islands. We have 5 acres and would like some help around the propertie. Our land is 1.5 km from Russell township, it has 3 beaches and it's a touristic little town with few tracks. It was the town where the first settlement stopped, first capital. There is a museum about history, whaling, and the Pompalier mission who use to print the bible in Maori.
