204 Somme Parade, Aramoho.
River views and location…
Built in the 1970's and built for the family, this great three-bedroom Aramoho home is awaiting its new owners.
The decor is very fitting for the era in which the home was built and is still in very good condition.
The master bedroom has an en suite and a 'his and hers' wardrobe - hers being walk-in while his is a large double. Meanwhile, the second bedroom has two double wardrobes and the third bedroom has one double wardrobe, so we think you’ll agree that storage space is not going to be an issue in this lovely home.
As well as the separate family toilet, there’s a separate family bathroom and an additional wet area shower. While outside, large double garaging and a roomy attached garden shed complete this package.
Number 204 Somme Parade is located close to the Aramoho shopping centre and just across the road from the rowing sheds; it’s also close to several schools. This family home has many features not found in many of today's homes and was made to measure by a builder for his own family.
Now's the time to make the call, so talk to Ritesh now to secure this unique home.

Whanganui Visitor Attractions
This was my effort for a Pechakucha evening held in the Autumn.
The inspiration came from the number of people both inside and outside Whanganui who ask me what there is to do in Whanganui on any given day.

Bushy Park Sanctuary, Whanganui
Bushy Park Sanctuary is located on the west coast of the North Island of New Zealand, at 791 Rangitatau East Road. It is 8 kilometres from Kai Iwi and 25 kilometres from Whanganui City.
The sanctuary is a 100 hectare predator-free native bird sanctuary, set amongst one of the few patches of virgin lowland forest. According to Ecological Management & Restoration, the journal of The Ecological Society of Australia along with SER International, the world’s premier restoration body, have ranked Bushy Park as one of Australasia’s “Top 25” Restoration Projects.
Within the Bushy Park Sanctuary there are 3.4km of metalled or well-formed walking tracks throughout the forest providing easy all-weather access for visitors. Tree species include mahoe, mamaku, pukatea, rata, and rimu along with colonies of ferns and mosses. A feature of the reserve is a large northern rata Metrosideros robusta named Ratanui (Big Rata). It is estimated to be between 500 and 1000 years old and is 43 metres in height and has a girth that exceeds 11 metres.
With a wide variety of birdlife thriving in the sanctuary, on your visit you will be able to see or hear species such as bellbirds, kereru, north island robin, saddlebacks, hihi, moreporks as well as the falcon, fantail, grey warbler, mallard, pukeko, silvereye, kingfishers, and white-faced heron. The sanctuary is home to some kiwi too.
Giraffe weevils, glowworms, and huhu beetles also inhabit Bushy Park.
As well as the Sanctuary, the property also features an Edwardian-era homestead that is a Category One Heritage Building registered with the New Zealand Historic Places Trust. The 22-room homestead, designed by Charles Tilleard Natusch, includes a 33 metre long, 1.8 metre-wide hall that runs the length of the residence. In 1962 G.F.Moore bequeathed Bushy Park to the Royal New Zealand Forest & Bird Protection Society. In 1995 the Society transferred ownership of the Homestead, Stables and a surrounding area of 11.7ha. (27acres) to an independent Trust now known as Bushy Park Trust who continue to run the Park. In addition it delegated to the Trust, by way of a lease in Perpetuity, management of the forest area in accordance with a mutually agreed plan. It is is possible to book a stay at the homestead. Contact the Whanganui I-site for more details:
Summer opening hours are from 10am to 3pm daily during the week and 10am to 5pm at weekends and holidays. Winter opening hours from May to November are Saturdays and Sundays from 11am until 4pm. The Homestead is closed Monday-Friday, except by prior arrangement.
There is a small fee for visiting the Bushy Park Sanctuary. Currently the fee is $10 for adults, while all children (15 years and younger) are free.
Please pay your fee at the Homestead when it is open and it will give you access to the Homestead, the Homestead grounds and the forest. You can still enter the forest within daylight hours, and we request you deposit your entry fee into the donations box located at the track entrance adjacent to the Stables.
Kai Iwi Beach
A beautiful beach minutes north of Wanganui, a small city on the southeastern portion of New Zealand's North Island. Great place for shell collecting, and the first place the surf pounded as it echoed of the cliffs.
