Hawke’s Bay Hiking and Tramping is based in the awesome town of Waipukurau (or Waipuk, as the locals call it), in the Central Hawke’s Bay district of New Zealand. In the years I’ve lived here, I’ve met so many wonderful people, and compared to the big cities, life in a rural town is just so much richer in terms of relationships. Businesses also have a different feel about them, and relationships with customers mean so much more.
