The logging crew I work on has just moved into the Taneatua area, lucky us. Am wondering what there is in the way of cheap cheap places to stay a couple nights a week in a half hour or so radius of Tanevegas. Basicaiy i just want somewhere to have a feed and sleep. Was thinking something along the lines of a farmers shearers Quarters or even just a water tight caravan. I can offer firewood as part payment (eucalyptus). Any local knowledge much appreciated.
Double shot!!
Where ever you go, make sure everything is tied down tight in that area, or else the light-fingered locals will make it theirs. Watch out also for flag-carrying natives who want to "discuss". And don't even think about taking a rifle into the bush for any reason.
It's only ten mins into whakatane from there, and I would be looking at backpackers etc.

I'm surprised your boss doesn't have something organised.

The boss is trying to be a tight arse. He wants everyone to travel every day. Its just over 2 hours each way from Putaruru. But he doesnt realise that I need to start work between 3:30 and 5 am to load trucks, I dont mind getting up early to travel over but its the drive home after such an early start that i dont like. That is just an accident waiting to happen.So hopefully if I can put a couple of options to him he might come around.
Double shot!!
I suppose if he buys a six-sleeper crew wagon to park in a campground, it will turn into a piss wagon for sure.
The forest owners won't take kindly to park-ups in the forest proper. They will be knocking on your door for sure.

The rest of the crew are ok travelling they only work 7 to 3:30. If i go back to those sort of hours I loose too much income. The bike rego will never come off hold.

reading the op and seeing your user name I'm guessing you drive a 22 tonne Komatsu with a grapple fitted ??

ha ha yip there certainly seems to be a differant culture over there. Even compared to South Waikato.
Double shot!!
Plenty of "culture" alright, along with plenty of solo mums and good weed.
