The Store is to the right of the phone box out of the photo so if you are looking at a photo of just the store you won't see the phone box or old garage front.
There was a Tag in the same bay ages ago but that one was down nearer the beach.
Plenty of other history in the area if you take a moment to wander round.

Just got back from a lovely ride to Akaroa for dinner with my lovely wife, via lyttleton, around the bays, gebbies pass and the summit road, with a slight detour to......
The Okains bay store.
There is a pic on the interweb that shows the store with the phone box.. I knew I'd seen it, I was over there camping a couple of weekends ago.

If I wasn't busy with work I'd go engorge myself on this one, worse things to be doing, I could be sitting in an airport waiting for all that ash to fall I suppose.

Looks right.
Don't ride that patch of road very often any more, usually in Lees Valley instead.
